FAQ
-
Do you make custom pieces?
One of the strengths of handwoven textiles is that they are fully customizable, and I love working with clients to create something that is uniquely theirs. In the early stages of my business, I will be taking on a select amount of custom projects. If you are interested in commissioning an item, please contact me so that we may begin our discussion.
-
If an item I am interested in is out of stock, what do I do?
The best way to get notified about re-stocks is to sign up for the email list. Those on the email list will get notified first when items are back in stock. If the matter is time sensitive, you can also contact me to place an order request.
-
How much is shipping, and where do you ship to?
I currently offer shipping within the United States, Canada, and most countries in Europe. I use USPS Priority Mail and First Class Mail, and charge a flat rate of $10, $30, and $40, respectively, to help cover some shipping and packing costs. If you are located in another part of the world and would like to place an order, please contact me. I will try my best to accommodate your request.
-
What looms do you use to make your handwoven products?
I currently have three looms: a Glimåkra Standard, an Öxabäck Ulla Cyrus, and a Louet Megado. The first two are countermarch looms imported from Sweden, on which I weave my most traditional pieces. The third is a dobby loom from Holland that allows me to weave complex computer-assisted designs.
-
Why are handwoven items so expensive?
Dozens of hours of work go into producing the items I have for sale. Creating a piece of handwoven cloth requires artistic vision, technical knowledge of complex tools, and a close attention to detail. The resulting textiles are higher quality than what you will find at a retail store, and will last decades - even centuries - with the proper care.
-
Do you teach any weaving-related courses?
Not at the moment, but this is something I look forward to doing in the future. If you would like to know more about how I began my weaving journey, visit the “about” page. If you have more technical inquiries beyond that, don’t hesitate to contact me.
