Eureka is a handdyed bombyx silk warp in a gradient of gold, burnt orange, clay, silver, blues, and charcoal with some random splashes of color and speckles. The weave is a crackle pattern with large repeats and long floats - this adds some grip & texture to the piece! The weft is mainly handdyed black and dark brown cotton/linen with blocks and clasps woven in handdyed slub silk in pinks/rose, cream, orange, golden brown, and red. The details are woven heavier on one tail and trail off into the other tail. This cushy piece is just a touch under 2m at about 1.93m plus a couple inches of warp thread on each end. This piece can become a wonderful ring sling, structured baby carrier, or shawl!

Refund & return policy: When considering buying from OoLaLoom, keep in mind we are primarily a one-woman show with day-to-day operations happening at our studio in New York. We have one studio assistant and one contract weavers. Our goal is to produce quality handdyed, handwoven, functional, beautiful textiles and our process consists of many steps that are done entirely by hand. As such, expect your textile to contain signs of the hand such as visible bobbin changes, imperfections in the selvage or fringe, cosmetic mends of knots or skips, minor bleeding during washing, etc. Signs of the hand are not errors or flaws and will not be accepted as reason for returns or partials refunds. In the event of a minor flaw that does not compromise safety or integrity of the fabric such as a broken thread, knot, or skipped thread we will cover the cost of shipping to New York and repair the flaw in a timely manner at no cost to the customer. We do not offer returns or refunds for minor flaws in our handmade textiles. We do not offer returns or refunds of customized textiles or any product sold in person. All textiles are measured STIH ("soft tape in hand) with the measurement in meters and rounded down. Expect that your textile may measure .1-.2m longer than listed.
