Our Light Blue Cashmere Scarf captures the serene essence of a Nantucket summer day, with its gentle hue mirroring the clear, coastal skies. This scarf is crafted from the finest 100% Scottish Cashmere, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury and comfort. Each piece is artfully woven in our renowned weaving studio located on the second floor at 51 Main Street, preserving a legacy of craftsmanship that began in 1968. Its unisex design ensures a versatile fit, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe for those who seek a touch of elegance reminiscent of seaside tranquility.
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.
