The technique of weaving and crafting by the designer is a combination of traditional methods with a modern perspective on fabric, creating original designs for products. Both in the choice of materials and in the techniques used, tradition remains alive in the weaving process of each product. 

The Loom Heritage

The Greek heritage of weaving art is preserved throughout the entire process by which the thread is placed on the loom and then the fabric is created. The process is called "diasimo" or "idiasma," and it is the traditional way in which the loom is dressed with the warp. 

Slowmade Process

The process of producing the yarn is made on the traditional Greek way of spinning the wool. Our goal is to support a friendly to the environment production of yarn and textile.
