JST Hand-dyed 20/2 Tussah is back!

We are so excited to share the re-launch of our JST Hand-dyed 20/2 Tussah silk!

We’ve switched the Tussah line over to a bleached Tussah. This produces colours that are brighter and clearer than they were on the natural Tussah, more like the sparkle of the 20/2 and 30/2 Bombyx. Our dyer has dyed half of our line of colours so far and we’re so happy to have them back in stock, brightening up our shelves while they wait for you to put them to work 😉

100% Silk Spun in Switzerland – 20/2 Tussah 5000 yds/lb.
Available in 100 gr. skeins with 1100 yds/skein.

Weave a Spring scarf with our beautiful linen…Lavender Lace Scarf Kit

C$71.00

This linen scarf is so wonderfully light and luscious. It billows like a sail in the wind and the light shines through this delicious cloth. Woven in our fine JST 40/2 linen makes it strong and very easy to weave. The kit will give you all you need for 2 scarves!

Canvas Weave, is such a lovely, delicate lace weave. It has an interesting characteristic, double threads coming out of the lace areas showing up in the plain weave areas in both warp and weft. The vertical lines are coming from the double 2’s and 3’s in the threading and, where you see them horizontally, they are from the 2 picks in 1 shed. The full instructions and draft for these delightful summer weight scarves, come with the kit.

We can make this kit in any colour you like! Simply, put the Lavender Lace kitinto your cart and on the checkout screen, in the “notes” section, let us know what colour you would like us to create your kit in.

Spring Stripes Tea Towel Kit

C$71.00

After a long, cold, wet spring on the “wet” coast – we thought what we needed was to weave a bright spot for our kitchens! These towels are perfect – easy to weave and fun to play with while you create your own design with the weft.

This kit is made entirely of organic cotton – you can actually feel the difference in the cloth once woven. Using organic cotton is a great way to begin supporting yarns that are respectful of the earth and the farmers that grow them. Our organic cotton is GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard).

Stash Crackle Pop!

We have a treat for you this month…..and I think we could all use a little treat 🙂

The “Stash, Crackle, Pop!” pattern is a great stash buster … you gain a lesson on Crackle Weave and … end up with some pretty eye-popping towels! This ‘pay what you want’ pattern was designed by our darling Sharon Broadley, who contributes so much to JST and can be found on Instagram as @colour.woven 🙂 You may be following her amazing daily tea-towels there, she just hit day 100!

Sharon has also been to India with Maiwa on 2 occasions and I know from travelling with her, just how supportive she is of the Maiwa Foundation’s work with textile artisans in India. So guess what? Whatever you pay for this pattern is going to the Maiwa Foundation. Let’s make what we raised for such a good cause with the Tea Towel Time with Jane fundraiser, go even further to help our fellow artisans in India.

And … our Maiwa Fundraiser is still carrying on for a few more weeks. So, if you didn’t get a chance to get your Tea Towel Time with Jane pattern, you still have time. The final date for the Fundraising Auction is scheduled for July 16th, but we’ll update you before then 😉
