Handwoven fabrics
I can compose handwoven fabrics for every taste, in cotton, cotto-linen, linen, wool, silk, mixed fibres and all kinds of fantasy threads. The three basic types of weaving, plain weave, twill and satin, with their simplest variations are suggested below. Preparing the loom, weaving and the material necessary for the fabric are all invoiced separately.
Planning your fabric from A to Z
CHF 150.-
Preparing the loom :
- From 0 to 300 threads : CHF 325.-
- From 301 to 800 threads : CHF 400.-
- From 801 threads and on : CHF 500.-
Preparing the loom includes :
- preparing the warp
- placing the warp on the loom
- drawing the warp threads through the heddles
- drawing the warp threads through the comb
- tying the warp and checking its tension
- final check of the warp
Prices for weaving (two-ply or more):
- Finer threads (for example NeB 12/2, 20/2, NeL 16/2, fine wool) : CHF 120.-/ meter
- Thicker threads (p.ex. NeB 8/2, thicker wool) : CHF 90.-/ meter
The price varies for single twisted threads - please ask for more information.
The threads are paid separately. According to the type of thread you wish for your fabric, the prices might vary between CHF. 60.- (cotton) and CHF. 1'000.- (silk) per kilo.
The prices mentioned above do not apply to more difficult types of weaving, to weaving with very fine threads (merino wool) and fantasy threads with an irregular texture. An additional fee will be asked for such materials.
Reconstitution of antique handwoven fabrics. In general, I do not make any reconstitution of antique handwoven fabrics, except in a few cases. If you already have the material at hand for the reconstitution and definitely know that your fabric is handwoven, then I will be happy to help you. In any case, I will have to analyze the type of weaving of the antique fabric - this work will be invoiced.
A detailed estimate will be made for each handwoven fabric. Please have a look at the General Conditions to find out more about the woven creations.
