● A look into the materials behind the pieces we carry.
Materials
Bergschaf Wool: A hardy, natural wool from the Bergschaf sheep, valued for its warmth and durability. Its textured fibers create strong, long-lasting pieces that hold shape well, whether in pads, bolsters, or table mats. In hand-felted form, the wool develops a tactile, substantial quality, giving each piece a sense of solidity and care. The natural texture and slight irregularities of the fibers add depth and character, making every item feel intentional and handcrafted.
Merino Wool: Soft, fine wool from Merino sheep, known for its smooth texture and natural breathability. In hand-woven pieces, Merino creates a comfortable, lightweight fabric that drapes easily while remaining durable.
Red Clay with Grog: A naturally earthy clay mixed with crushed fired clay, which enhances its strength and texture. The rich color and distinct grain make it ideal for creating durable, handcrafted pieces with a tactile, organic quality.
Stoneware Clay: A versatile, dense clay known for its durability and smooth texture. It retains heat well and, when fired, develops a rich, earthy finish, making it ideal for creating functional and durable ceramic pieces.
Linen: A natural fabric made from flax fibers, valued for its breathability and strength. With a crisp texture that softens over time, linen is ideal for durable, lightweight woven pieces. Its firm weave holds shape well, making it suitable for both functional and decorative work. Linen adapts to use, becoming more supple with handling while maintaining its resilience. The material’s natural irregularities give each piece subtle character, reflecting the quality of the fibers and the care of the craft.
Silk-Metal Yarn: A blend of silk and metallic fibers, combining the smoothness of silk with the strength and subtle sheen of metal. This yarn offers a unique texture that adds depth and refinement to woven pieces.
Flax Fibre: A strong, natural fiber from the flax plant. Known for its smooth texture and durability, flax is ideal for creating lightweight, breathable fabrics with a crisp, natural feel.
Paper Yarn: Made from processed paper fibers, this yarn is lightweight yet strong, offering a distinctive texture. It’s ideal for creating crisp, durable pieces with a natural, understated quality.
