Hi! New Friends weavings are here! Our new collection – Best Woof – is inspired by dogs and shapes. We made our first ever silkscreen print of a weaving in an edition of 25 of each color (blue and black), along with a large format photocopy poster - Dogs, Roving & Combs. And many new weavings, see it all at:

I’ve got weaving on my mind. Wooden weaving combs made by Hopi (most gorgeous tool ever), assorted commercial dyed cotton, jar of goat hair for weaving, grass overshoe-twined weaving made by Unaliqmiut Eskimos, woven grass bracelet from Uganda and twined weaving basket made by Tlingit in the Western Arctic. Side note: New Friends have been working like crazy on our new collection coming this March. Cool!
