Soft blocks

The “Soft blocks” collection was inspired by traditional block designs that appear in European folk home textiles such as coverlets or hand towels.

By transforming the traditional block pattern into a lighter, small scale version, suitable for modern apparel I combined lightweight alpaca and silk blend yarn creating two colour groups. The first one features fresh and saturated colours against neutral background while the other one blends neutral tones with delicate contrast in the background

Thanks to its versatility every design from the “Soft blocks” collection can be woven to customer’s specifications – for more details please see the ‘commissions’ page
