I saw warm silk, elder women weaving on a loom with wrinkled hands, the colors, patterns and designs they created. I saw how each piece takes a long time to create. The painstaking workmanship, the scent of dyes, the people’s creativity and their passion for silk made a deep impression on me. I told myself that I would become one of them.’What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.
