Loominarias, 2021
The year 2020 is done and gone, and 2021 is looking up! The focus of Loominarias is still on functional tea towels and they are selling like hotcakes through the Artful Home printed catalog and web site (www.artfulhome.com). You can also get them directly from us, so just send us a note if you want to order. Visit our gallery page to learn more!
Loominarias, 2020
The year 2020 has been an unusual one, especially for artists. It has certainly given us time to reflect on our art. As a result of the weirdness of this pandemic year, Loominarias has changed its focus to more everyday and functional handwoven art.
Handwoven 100% cotton kitchen/tea towels
The perfect hostess gift by itself or wrapped around a loaf of your home-baked bread, these towels make your everyday tasks more enjoyable and beautiful. Available in 2 patterns (stripes or blocks) and 3 colorsets: Ocean Blues, Fiesta Reds and Sandy Naturals.
These 100% cotton handwoven towels are soft and absorbent, colorful and practical. And easy care - you can machine wash and dry at any temperature. You can even add a little bleach to remove stains if needed.
Loominarias handwoven kitchen towels sell for $45 each (plus tax for Indiana residents), and shipping is free! Get our multiple towel discount when ordering 2 or more. Visit our gallery page to learn more!
Hand-dyed and handwoven scarves
There are still many luxurious handwoven scarves available from Loominarias. *** Click here to view the currently available scarves. ***
Loominarias scarves are light and silky and wonderful to touch. Handcrafted from hand-dyed tencel in unique, vibrant colorways, these luxurious fashion items are handwoven in a variety of original and traditional twill patterns.
Dyed and woven by fiber artists Carrie May and Mindy McCain, each scarf or shawl is a unique product of pattern and color, blending together to create a luminescent, colorful work of art. The tencel fiber makes them easy to care for — simply hand wash in the sink with regular detergent, hang or dry flat, and finish by steam pressing to restore the softness and shine.
Like us on Facebook to keep up with the new scarves, patterns and colors.
Loominarias shawls and scarves are available at art fairs throughout the Midwest, or contact the artists to see what colors and patterns are currently available.
