Trillium Weavers

The name Trillium comes from the flower. These flowers have three of everything — leaves, sepal, petals. Since Trillium began as three weavers, they chose Trillium Weavers for their weaving business. Their scarves are made from high-gloss rayon chenille yarn, chosen for its color brilliance and soft feel. The cloth is shimmering, lustrous and smooth, composed from a palette of more than fifty yarn colors, dyed to Trilliums specifications. In the finished fabric the colors blend, softening the warp stripes. The drape is relaxed and very comfortable. These chenille scarves are woven on multi-color warps (lengthwise threads), with a solid weft (back-and-forth thread). Pieces with the same color name will have about the same proportions of about the same colors, but stripe patterns will vary, no two warps are exactly the same.

Scarves are woven with a hand-shuttle, building the fabric a pick at a time. The fringe is hem-stitch at either end by hand, on-loom. When the warp comes off the loom, the fabric is washed and dried (this one time only, please dry-clean our scarves and shawls thereafter), to give it it's characteristic flowing, velvety texture.
