Introducing our new
SPRING TOWEL COLLECTION
Each year, I venture into new color territories to keep things fresh. In 2024, in response to customer requests, I'll be introducing more earth tones to our towel collection, starting this spring with hints of browns, greens, and pinks.
Meet the Maker
Hello! I’m Hilary. Hand craft, self sufficiency, and appreciation of form + function were part of my Waldorf education and daily routine as a farmer. I share the same values in my work as a weaver, and I create durable textiles that I hope will be a companion to you on the daily. Whether keeping you warm on woodland walks, completing dinner party table settings, or mopping up the remnants from the evening’s meal, these handwoven goods will serve you for years to come.
Upcoming Events
Meeting customers is one of my favorite parts of being a maker and I attend a variety of events in mid coast and southern Maine. Come say hi, ask me questions, tell me about the textiles in your life, and get the feel - literally - of handwoven cloth!
