This one-off piece is Work 184. I never weave the same cloth or item twice. Every piece is unique and numbered, every creation has a story to tell.
Made popular in China thousands of years ago for its luxurious quality, mulberry silk comes from the Morus Alba tree. Mulberry silk is made from the cocoon of the Bombyx mori moth. Before metamorphosis, the caterpillar feeds exclusively on the white mulberry leaf—this is one of the reasons why this silk is known for its second-to-none quality.
Lambswool is taken from the first shearing of a sheep, usually when it’s around 7 months old. The fibres are usually no longer than 50mm which makes them very fine and very soft. Because it’s the first shearing, lambswool is produced in much smaller numbers which makes it more expensive than a lot of other wools.
Dimensions: width 12 1/2″ – 32cm // length w/o fringe 68 1/2″ – 174cm // fringe 4 1/2″ – 12cm.
