Holiday Order Reminder

Just a quick reminder for those of you still considering a holiday hand wovens order. There are only 6 weeks left until the end of October.

Kitchen linens
Priced as follows:

  • 100% cotton:
    $20/towel, 17x30;
    $15/napkin, 17x17;
    $12.50/waffle weave wash cloth, 10x10
  • 60% cotton, 40% linen:
    $30/towel, 17x30;
    $25/napkin, 17x17.
  • The benefits of the cotton/linen blend are softer finished products and slightly more vibrant colors. I have found that both materials are very absorbent and color fast. The linens are not bleach resistant, however, so be careful when laundering.

Scarves or shawls:
If you would like to give a nice hand-woven scarf or shawl, prices are specific per item and are based on the yarns used and time taken to make it. Prices generally range between $50-80 for most scarves made with cotton, wool, alpaca or a synthetic fiber. Silk is more expensive and usually runs in the $100 range. Tencel, bamboo, and soy silk are generally less expensive than silk and have the same sheen and drape so are great alternatives.

Other:
Other custom made items that you can order are blankets, place mats, table runners, pillows, or purses/bags. Prices for these items vary based on the material chosen and time investment in creating them, but they will definitely be unique items that are sure to please.

Inspiration:
If you need inspiration, check out the past projects on my blog. You can search by type of gift by selecting the category you are interested in under the “labels” section in the upper left corner.

If you are interested in placing an order for the holidays, please contact me either by e-mail (leslief150@yahoo.com) or phone (601.310.9372).

I’m looking forward to making your special items!
