Interested in DIY/making your own?

We're pulling together the handwoven fabrics we've been collecting over the years -- ready for your sewing and textile projects:

• metres of organic, undyed, textured silk and finer silks for clothing
• 2m lengths of black cotton from Laos with beautiful, elaborately woven borders - perfect for a skirt or other project
• 2 rolls of unique fabric made from the bark of the Yaboi tree!
• smaller pieces of silks and cottons for quilting, cushion covers, any textile project in your imagination 

Contact us if you're interested. We're happy to visit your quilt guild too with our travelling fabric show!

Here's a small sampling of what we have. See our SHOP page for more lengths of silk fabric.

Beauties and treasures ready for Quilt Canada 2012

Find these beauties and treasures -- and many more -- at Quilt Canada 2012 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. TAMMACHAT Natural Textiles' booth, with displays and wares changing daily, will be a show within itself. Many pieces are perfect for use in fibre art creations. Many are perfect just as they are.

All TAMMACHAT textiles are handwoven or hand-stitched, mostly coloured with natural dyes. All are fairly traded, as always, to bring income to rural women in Thailand and Laos.

Visit us in Booth 101 in the Merchant Mall, Dalplex at Dalhousie University. Map
