Handloom is Tara's first woven fabric collection with Windham Fabrics. Woven with two different colored fibers in the warp and weft, these fabrics create rich layered colors with incredible depth & texture.

Tara pre-washes everything, and she especially recommend prewashing Handloom and other wovens (even if you are not an avid pre-washer). Washing helps tighten the weave, reduces fraying, and makes the fabric softer and easier to cut and handle.​

Garment makers are used to pre-washing everything, but sometimes quilters are in the non-prewashing bandcamp. When working with wovens including Handloom, some colors can still run slightly, particularly darker shades. Prewashing is a proactive way to rinse out any excess dye before mixing different substrates from different manufacturers into you quilts.

Wovens are wonderful to work with, and they're not just for quilts! They're also great for garments, bags, and all kinds of other sewing projects.
