Hand-woven wool scarf

Merino wool spun in France, woven on a hand loom in our textile inclusion workshops. One scarf takes between eight and twelve hours of work: warping the loom, weaving, finishing, and knotting the fringes one by one.

Roughly 180 × 25 cm, with the small variations of a hand-woven piece. Every scarf is unique: the colours follow whichever cones are available, and nobody tries to reproduce the same pattern twice. Hand-wash in cold water and dry flat.

These workshops are at the heart of the association’s inclusion work: a technical skill to learn, a rhythm to pick back up, a group to belong to. The price pays the weavers for their work and keeps the workshop running — raw materials, loom maintenance and supervision.
