925 Twilight Starmap: 50% linen, 50% combed cotton

925 Twilight Starmap

Our Spindrift (hemp) Twilight  Seafoam  proved such a hit as a sort of ‘classic‘ firespiral that we wanted to create a counterpart timeless starmap in our original silver and twilight colour way; something that celebrates all that linen has to offer. This time we chose to make a thicker weight wrap that despite its weight still embodied […]

Deep Ocean Twilight Seafoam

Last summer we released Eclipse Obsidian Seafoam, and we knew straight away that we had to revisit those sparkling weft colours in some form on our Twilight warp. There are some notable differences between Eclipse and the new Deep Ocean Seafoam. This new weft is dual coloured as the eclipse was, but is 100% combed cotton. […]

Moonrock Twilight Starmap

It is a good while since we last released a cashmere blend wrap. We have not found a direct supplier of cashmere to date who can demonstrate the level of ethical assurance that we would require to make cashmere a standard line. We currently use surplus yarn, spun in the UK for a clothing company who […]

Given that this wrap is quite different to our others I thought it might be interesting to have some more information about how it handles. I’d washed this wrap once (I think it needs another wash to get the wool properly out of loomstate) and it hadn’t been broken in or worn. I think you […]

Valencia Twilight Festival: 25% merino lambswool, 75% combed cotton

Valencia Twilight Festival: 25% merino lambswool, 75% combed cotton

This wrap has a unique feel to it; chunky and quite dense at 370gsm, but with plenty of diagonal stretch and movement still. It is one of the thicker wraps we’ve made and definitely wraps shorter as a result, although you will gain more length as it breaks in. As with all our wraps, the […]

Moss Twilight Winter Hill: video geekery!

Moss Twilight Winter Hill: video geekery!

Moss is such a beautiful wrap, but it is incredibly hard to capture it accurately; some colours just seem to allude the camera and look washed out or greyed. The merino/cotton weft is a more saturated ‘mossy green’ than it appears, with flecks of paler colour throughout. It has a wonderful drape and is the […]

Sylvan Twilight Birch Trees

Sylvan Twilight Birch Trees is a 50% linen 50% combed cotton wrap. We previously wove sylvan trees on an obsidian warp, and it worked so well that we thought we would use the remaining weft on the Twilight warp. Being a deep indigo colour, the Twilight warp creates a softer, more dusky look than the […]

The Birth of Starmap: Design History

The Birth of Starmap: Design History

There were two key creative experiences that formed the foundation of our business back in 2012. One was the process of thinking up a name for our business (which was truly a labour of love) and the other was the creation of the starmap design. Whilst we’d found a shared artistic vision for our designs, Tamsin had designed Gossamer […]
