COCHINEAL half-coverlet

Each piece in this collection has been woven and finished by hand on a historic loom in North London. Made to order from soft, undyed cotton and British lambswool, the half-coverlet has been designed to have ample room to nestle under, but still be small enough to wear as a shawl when padding downstairs at 3am to make a cup of tea. 

The dancing motifs of the coverlet have been faithfully replicated from 19th century patterns, lost to history and industrialisation, and unearthed as part of a project of 'textile archeology', hereby exploring the role of the textile as heirloom, and these threads that connect us through time.
