Weaver's Story

It is two years since I started working with the weavers in Nepal and in that time we have learnt a great deal about each other’s working methods and how best to develop ideas and push our skills.

The wool we use is grown in Tibet and travels to the Kathmandu valley by mule over the Himalayas. In the valley it is spread out by the river bank to be sorted and graded.
