This Heirloom weave structure has a fascinating history that has been passed down and preserved for over 200 years, and we are so honored to be a part of this legacy It was designed by a woman named Patience and her daughter Peace who lived in Massachusetts in the late 1700s. Using linen and wool from their farm, they wove fabric for their family's blankets, bedspreads and other assorted items. When Peace got married, she took along several weaving drafts that she and her mother had designed. They were brief notations scribbled on small scraps of paper that were passed down for several generations until they were donated to the local historical society and deciphered into modern weave drafts. Photography Credit: Alisha Skeel Photography Product Information While our carriers are normally shipped in loom state, all of the Heirloom Garnet carriers have been prewashed and are ready to wear. Since the red dye can sometimes bleed, we have washed each carrier several times with both a dye fixative and color catchers to prevent the red dye from bleeding on the natural yarns. Your carrier will be shipped with a box of color catchers, and we recommend using 3 or 4 sheets for each subsequent wash. Especially for these carriers, it's very important to follow the washing instructions and only wash with cool or cold water. Make sure to wash/dry separately to prevent any color transfer to other items. For complete washing information, please click here.
