Sioni
Rhys Handweavers is based in Pandy, a village whose very name means
'fulling mill'. It reminds us that textiles and sheep were key to
the Welsh economy of old.
This
is a district that once produced the finest flannel in the land.
In
addition to its unique 'carthenni', Sioni Rhys produces very fine,
lightweight accessories in a range of natural luxury fibres. The
processes are traditional - the cloth is stamped in a bath of soap
and warm water to 'full out' its body.
Such
care & attention to detail make each piece unique, and of the
highest quality. |
