Feather Flurries is available to the trade through Japanese textile manufacturer, Nuno. Please don't be upset with us for posting goods available to the trade only. We just wanted to get this light, feathery design out there to inspire you the way it did us.
Are the feathers actually woven into the fabric? If so, how do you avoid getting pricked by the pointy end? It sure is gorgeous, though.

Pretty, but a shame someone has to die for it.

I don't know, I always yearned for the sort of lace wedding dress that fifty Belgian lacemakers took six months to make and went blind while doing so (a feature of 19th century royal weddings).

I was just watching a documentary the other day that shows how this fabric is made. During weaving the loom is paused and the feathers are inserted into pockets which are closed once the loom resumes weaving.

Lori, someone didn't necessarily have to die for it. If you ever want to do it yourself, go feed the ducks at the pond, or visit a farm where they keep chickens and other fowl.
