FLYING CARPET
DESCRIPTION
Flying Carpet is a whirlwind of raspberry, blue-green and warm yellow cotton yarn woven in a plain weave technique over a natural cotton warp. Plain weave is the simplest weave, obtained by interlacing horizontal weft threads on vertical warp threads, going over the first and under the second, over the third and so on. Because of such rigorous interlacing, the plain weave is lightweight and of the most solid construction. With the plain weave, the front and back of the fouta are identical.

ABOUT YOUR FOUTA
All of our foutas are hand-woven using deadstock cotton and linen yarns that would otherwise end up being discarded. Repurposing natural fiber yarns is the first step in our journey toward sustainability and responsible sourcing.
