About Us

traditional Jacquard punch cards

Woven in Czech Republic

Our kitchen tea towels are special because they are artfully designed and created by our family and then woven on old Jacquard looms in Czech Republic, Europe.

Jacquard

In 1801, French weaver Joseph Jacquard invented a loom attachment which automated how patterns were woven.

We still use old looms which continue in his tradition and use traditional Jacquard punch cards.

This is how it works…

About Us

First we draw our design and copy it onto square paper.

The design is meticulously translated into punched cards.

The cards are stitched together in a continuous belt.

Later the belt of these Jacquard cards is fed into the loom.

Woven fabric is made by passing threads over and under one another.

Holes in the cards control which vertical threads are raised for weaving the pattern.

These threads are passed over and under by using a shuttle.

Inside of the shuttle is a spool of thread which unwinds with each passing of the shuttle.

That is how the patterned fabric is woven.

Jacquard looms

Modern looms have computers built in them and are very fast. However we believe that the slow traditional way still has its advantages.

Sometimes less is more.
