A study in timeless restraint, this opulent handwoven wrap reflects a balance of simple elegance and enduring artisanal tradition. Rendered in a classic black palette, it is crafted from a luxurious blend of premium Peruvian alpaca and Japanese-spun silk, offering exceptional softness, warmth, and a refined natural sheen. Alpaca is warmer than sheep’s wool and naturally hypoallergenic, making it well suited for sensitive skin, while silk enhances the drape and visual sophistication of the textile. Finished with hand-tied fringe, the wrap is designed as an heirloom-quality layer with lasting versatility and appeal.

Handwoven by local master weavers in our Main Street studio, this wrap is crafted entirely by hand using time-honored techniques upheld at Nantucket Looms since 1968. Each piece reflects our commitment to exceptional materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and textiles made to be worn, cherished, and passed on.

How It's Made

Crafted by hand from start to finish in our Main Street weaving studio.

Our masterful artisans begin by thoughtfully selecting colors and fibers inspired by our surrounding landscape, then determine a pattern and desired weave structure for their design.

Next they wind the fiber onto bobbins then wind the loom’s warp, a meticulously calculated process that sets the path of each and every thread used. These threads are manually connected to specific harnesses and securely hand-tied to “dress the loom”. Once this stage is complete, they can begin to weave.

Countless passes of the shuttle commence, rhythmic, muted sounds of wooden pedals fill the studio and a beautiful textile begins to emerge. The handwoven process continues until the piece reaches its full length, at which point it is cut from the loom. Tassels are hand-knotted onto the ends, and a small label is hand-sewn onto the textile as the weaver’s final touch.
