100% combed cotton
The long dark nights of late autumn have appeared since the clocks went back in October, and are still quite an exciting novelty (especially with Halloween and Bonfire night entertainment captivating the children). Perfect timing for releasing the Obsidian Cyano Starmaps onto the website. The turquoise and green warp shines through the dark weft like the Northern Lights with striking effect.
We’ve previously used this colour combination of 100% combed cotton for both the seafoam and vortex design, and these starmaps will be available in the shop from the 5th November at 9pm GMT. Prices will be our standard 100% cotton.
Firespiral is the creation of Tamsin and Jen. We are passionate about woven wraps and had a shared dream to one day have our own designs woven. We live in an area with a wonderful weaving heritage and have been lucky enough to work with a very skillful weaving company capable of weaving something really special. Our designs are inspired by the universal patterns in nature that stray into both science and myth; the magical way in which we are connected to the world and its rhythms. We live at the edge of the west pennine moors, surrounded by stone circles, local legend and the wild beauty of the hillside, with the shadows of the cotton mills in the valley below. We feel a real sense of belonging to the ancient landscape and it is from this wonderful place that our inspiration takes shape. Some of our designs are an exploration of naturally occurring pattern, and some could be more accurately described as 'story cloths'. We both have creative backgrounds, Tamsin from an architectural viewpoint and bringing her experience of transforming wraps under the guise of violet chameleon, Jen as an artist and art psychotherapist. We want our woven wraps to be both artistically beautiful and take on deeper personal meanings for their wearers.
