Two sisters born and raised in Mazury, Poland,

with one not-so-popular passion.

We come from…

a family of handy people. From woodwork to jewelry, from welding to knitting… From the beginning, it was clear to us, that we needed to work with our hands and create real objects for real people. Ideally – functional, yet beautiful, maybe even a little artsy? And although one of us is a lawyer and the other – an oceanographer, we were completely hooked on weaving. Traditional craft, but with some space for innovations. With its calming rhythm. Mindful. Based on natural materials. Perfect!

That’s why we decided to complete the Traditional weaving course at the Folk Culture Museum in Węgorzewo. This is how our adventure began!

We use…

traditional floor looms and materials. For the warp, we go with pure cotton or Polish linen yarn. For weft – 100 % recycled wool.

Every small element we do by our hands. Every single thread went at least a few times through our fingers.

about the wool

The biggest issue for us was the choice of the material for the weft. Environment and animals’ well-being are our priority, so wool wasn’t our first choice. However, we managed to find a source of high-quality wool, that otherwise would go to waste – we use leftovers from a big Polish rug factory. Normally too short yarn would be thrown out or used for producing gray cloths… And that is every ecologist’s worst nightmare – the environment and animals already paid the price and it would all go to waste!

That’s why we decided to give the wool a second life as kilims and rugs. We are using 100% recycled wool and we are very proud of that! Please note that this is why some shades may differ from each other and sometimes some colors simply run out. It’s an additional challenge, but we are up for it!
