Fibraquarelle

About

Fibraquarelle is a textile alchemy lab, which turns yarn and bright colors into handwoven wonders. It was born out of a love of traditional craft processes and a need to create things that would not exist otherwise. The resulting textiles are unique, traditional yet modern, usable in daily life, durable and ethical. Production and sales are currently on hiatus following an international move.

Products are made on a traditional Ulla Cyrus or "Öxabäck" handloom, using natural materials such as cotton, linen, wool and silk. Materials were sourced from Swedish suppliers whenever possible: favorites included Växbo lin, Holma, Östergötlands Ullspinneri and Sjöalyckans silke. I will research and share French suppliers as I restart production in the near-future.

This blog is for sharing technical tips and weaving drafts, along with reflections on the politics of crafts. It was made possible by Patreon supporters, which helped justify the time it takes to put together proper blog posts before the ongoing hiatus. More informal posts and behind-the-scenes details can be found there.

The owner, which is a fancy way of saying the one human doing everything, is A. Coget, a grumpy French person and freelance videogame programmer. For ramblings and a programming portfolio, you can visit the personal website.
