Fanreed weaving

This dark textile, crafted from a combination of silk, cashmere, and silk steel, is woven using a special fanreed. Weaving reeds are normally set at regular intervals to make sure threads are spread out regularly and symmetrically. A fanreed sets the wires at an angle, enabling Lucia Schwalenberg to abandon the rectangular order of weaving. By lifting and lowering the fanreed on the loom, the warp threads are undulated.
