Melong Bed Throw — Undyed Cream

€950,00

Named for melong, the mirror. Woven on undyed merino wool and scattered with small medallions in red, blue, green and gold — row after row of them, with nothing else on the cloth. The quietest ground we weave, and the one that shows a motif most clearly.

Woven by hand, so no two pieces are identical. Small variations in colour, width and weave are the evidence of the loom, not a fault.

The seam is the signature

Yathra is woven in narrow panels, limited by the width of the loom, then joined by hand to reach full width. Most weavers try to hide that join. We leave ours showing — run a finger down it and you can feel where one panel ends and the next begins. It is the quickest way to tell a handwoven piece from a machine-made copy.

Priced by loom-days

We price our work by loom-days — the number of days a piece spends on the loom. It is the only measure that reflects what a handwoven textile actually costs to make.

Care

Dry clean, or hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild wool detergent. Spin for no longer than five minutes, reshape while damp, and dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight.

All products are made to order, after payment confirmation.
