What is Jacquard Weaving?
As some may well know, Jacquard looms revolutionized the textile industry in a big way. Before the Jacquard looms were introduced, highly detailed and ornate fabrics would take several months or even years to develop. The Jacquard looms addressed this problem by pioneering a system that is considered the first type of coding and programable device. Punch cards were designed for each fabric pattern in order to dictate what color yarns were being pulled up and pushed down in the loom, while the weaver would control the yarn moving back and forth in the loom horizontally. This level of automation at the time not only cut the weave time down drastically, but the price of the fabric as well.


How do colors work in weaving?
All of our colors (147 individual color swatches) are crafted and refined by skilled weavers and artist in order to be able to recreate any image in a woven tapestry. Each color consists of six colors of yarn (red, blue, green, yellow, black, and white), and each color alternates in the structure of the weave in order to create each unique color swatch.
