Also accepting requests for commissions. Get in touch.

Why do handmade, woven goods cost so much more than mass-produced textiles (including clothing), which are often made of acrylic (plastic) fibers? Because of the high costs associated with raising sheep and processing raw wool into weaving yarn AND because weaving is extremely labor-intensive. For reference, it took me around 48 hours to weave the larger pieces. That does not include all of the prep involved in warping the loom (usually a full day of work). Add to that the cost of wool and warp thread and weavings like this are made for far under minimum wage.

I would love to work towards creating a world in which textiles like these are more accessible. While some parts of the textile industry are beginning to understand the importance of using natural fibers, the industry at large still values cheap materials and cheap labor over climate-beneficial goods and practices.

WHY WOOL IS COOL:

• Wool adjusts to your body temperature so it is warming in cold weather and cooling in heat. AND it magically stays warm even when it’s wet.

• Wool is fire-resistant. Unlike the plastic that most clothing is currently made out of.

• Wool is fully biodegradable. You’ve worn your socks to threads? Toss ‘em back into the earth.

• Wool grows on sheep, who must be shorn for health reasons. Sheep, when stewarded correctly, can offer huge benefits to the landscape - natural fertilizer, breaking up compacted soil, increasing water-holding capacity, etc.
