All of our fabrics are woven on an old-type low-speed loom called a shuttle loom.
The word "shuttle" also means weft, and the shuttle moves from right to left between the warp threads on the loom, and then folds back and forth from left to right, gradually becoming cloth.
Learn how to follow this traditional process to appreciate the craft of fabric making.
