We will delve into the art of weaving techniques, where craftsmanship and creativity come together to create beautiful fabrics.
Twill Weave: A Sustainable Connection
Twill weave is a sophisticated weaving technique in which the threads run diagonally across each other. You can recognize the fabric by a diagonal line, resulting in, among other things, a distinctive herringbone pattern. In addition to its stylish appearance, twill weave is known for its durability and strength. Often used for jeans and jackets, this technique imparts a unique character to garments that withstand the test of time.

Satijn: De Zijdezachte Luxe
Satijn is een weeftechniek die beroemd is om zijn gladde, glanzende oppervlak. Door een ingenieuze ‘float’ techniek, waarbij de inslagdraad over meerdere kettingdraden gaat, ontstaat er een weelderig, zijdeachtig gevoel. Satijn straalt luxe uit en wordt vaak gebruikt voor beddengoed, avondjurken en andere elegante stoffen.
