Because of you Rajiv I contacted Deborah a couple years ago and ordered a few kitchen towels and dishcloths. They are right here in my kitchen and are still like new. Her work is spectacular. ❤Lovely to see her on here!
@ I can’t really remember for sure but I think the dishcloths were about $18 each and the towels like $38 a piece. They’re excellent quality. A blanket would definitely be an investment. 😊
@@beadmecreative9485she has prices on her website under the “products to purchase” section! It doesn’t feature the prices for a blanket as I think you would have to contact her for the pricing due to custom measurements but I would assume upwards of at least 500 depending on fiber, size and pattern choice.
Nice to see Deborah! I've only heard about you from Rajiv's videos where he always talk about 'This is the most gorgeous hand weave suits... these are hand weave cloths... these all are from Deborah'. Now I can see the artist behind those wonderful arts. It is so soothing and wonderfully made video. Thank you Rajiv for sharing with us.
What a pleasure to “meet” Deborah and you too Rajiv. My father was the first director of BCPV from 1957 - 64 and brought the first 19 buildings to the village after restoring the 5 original buildings. He would have been amazed to see how it has changed today, reflecting the community while keeping the traditional skills and crafts intact. He was so supportive of me when I became a spinner, dyer and weaver 30 years ago. Deborah’s line linen towel is to die for; her skill and craftsmanship is equal to any historic textile in a museum; hers will be in museum collections one day as well!
I'm so glad you introduced Deborah to us. You've spoken about her lovingly for a long while. I'm so impressed with her, the work she does and that she made a business for herself. I weave, felt and knit, so I understand the time and effort it takes to do what she does - she's a real gem. Thank You!
I don’t know if I can adequately express my appreciation and admiration for what you do and the wonderful people you introduce us to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤️
As a weaver & spinner, this video is like eating the most delicious pastry! 😄 I’m savoring everything! It makes me realize how much I REALLY want to get back on my loom after a hiatus of getting caught up in watercolor painting! Too many hobbies, not enough time! 😂
As a yarn spinner, dyer, knitter, and weaver, and coming from a long, long line of textile makers, I am so thrilled to see your focus and interest in the very most basic of things we need every single day. And how luxurious it is to have those things against our skin or to sleep under. THANK YOU!!
Good afternoon! What a privilege to meet Deborah and to be taken behind the scenes of this process! I can’t imagine doing this intensive work, not to mention the intricate designs built in. Thank you so very much Rajiv and Deborah!!! I am completely enchanted and impressed!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇨🇦
So glad to finally meet Deborah here! We have all heard so much about her! She is so talented and has such a nice and relaxing way of explaining her craft.
Her work is beautiful. As someone who knits, I too didn’t realise that they cut up the staple when spinning it. Lately I’ve been buying from independent spinners and dyers. Thank you Rajiv, Deborah for making me understand that it’s more important to buy natural fibres and have fewer items that can last a lifetime as opposed to buying cheap/ artificial fibres that may last a year.❤️
Rajiv is the number one person to give handcrafted items to. Being an amazing artist himself, he so truly appreciates the artistry and time they take. The world needs more gentle and beautiful souls just like him
Seeing the two of you has made my day and reminded me of a time 50 or more years ago when I was weaving overshot coverlets and kitchen towels in my mid 20's. I really love the way you are in awe of the textiles and treat them like the treasures they are! Very inspiring! Much love, LuAnn Williams
My sibling and I sat and watched this today (boxing day 2024) and have learned a lot❤😊. We just watch the clip about your nine 🌹 s bed cover and made the connection ❤😊. Deborah is so sweet and thoughtful. Deb is very skilled at what she does and listening to her described the process and background of the effort it takes from field to design was so soothing. Rajiv ❤ thanks for sharing this
What an enjoyable visit!❤ I am fondly remembering the 30 years I raised sheep and llamas, even had an angora goat. I dyed the wool, carded, spun, knit, wove, felted… love love love all the textile arts!! Deborah’s work is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!What a sweet friendship!!❤ Thanks Rajiv!🙏😍
My grandmother's parents had a little handweaving family business before the second worldwar in a part of Poland that was a german part back then. They later had to flee and leave it behind, never got it back. My grandmother helped weaving there when she was a child. When they had to escape the oncoming war her little sister stepped on a landmine at age 2 and was killed, all kind of terrible things happened, my grandmother survived, but noone ever started a handweaver's business again in my family. Pity. When I see this it makes me think of my grandmother, who died when I was a child, can't ask her questions now about weaving. Deborah, you go on with this amazing craftmanship
oh, its beautiful... I'm knitting a pullover for my husband, while I'm watching you, using beautiful organic wool and just feel grateful that there are people who cares about nature, beauty and soul ✨
When Rajiv looks at Deborah, you can see how in awe he is of her. His attention is on every word she speaks and each move she makes. The perfect way to honor their friendship and her exquisite and beautiful art. ❤
I grew up poor, but my mother taught me to appreciate nice things. Quality. We always remarked on how easily recognizable cotton from India was, and we loved it so much. Happy to hear that they are still producing quality textiles.
As a self taught fiber nerd, spinner, knitter and yet to be weaver, I purchased a leclerc dorthy years ago I have yet to build the nerve for, wanting to weave myself kitchen linens but so many have told me 15" is to small for tea towels. I love and appreciate these videos and the information, perhaps because I share the same mindset.
I’ve always appreciated hand woven items, but after seeing her work, and learning how it’s done, I will value my purchases much more. So interesting seeing how the loom works. I love your beautiful shirt, and her work is stunning.
What an amazing video! What an artist is Deborah. And all the knowledge about threads and garments and her work ❤️ And everything in the video done so naturally, the flow of the conversation, the images. An Oscar 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a wonderful video. I learned so much. Having knit for over six decades i am familiar with yarn but only know a just the basics. What i do know is that i only get real joy knitting with wool. I have knit my husband many sweaters. Just finish one with yarn from Iceland. Let it soak over night in "soap" with tea tree oil, rinsed it out, let it dry and now the wool is absolutely gorgeous. You must was garments made of wool after you make them to get the full beauty to shine. Now i am working on a sweater with very soft hand dyed yarn from Peru. It is totally different from the one i just finished. Cannot wait to see how this yarn will look when it becomes a sweater.
What a delight to see Deborah at work in her studio! I am lucky enough to enjoy using her placemats and dishcloths every day. The intention and quality of the work and materials adds a little happiness to our lives every day. Watching today and feeling the connection to the land and sheep and artist was a complete pleasure. Thank you for the lovely video.
what a sweet person this lady is! And your shirt is stunningly beautiful, I like especially the colour, but also of course how it's made and it looks so good on you as well
Wow, Deborah is such an amazing, talented lady. Thank you for sharing her art with us. Thank you for all of your amazing videos, we all need Rajiv in our lives. It's amazing to learn about everything from how to wash our whites, to weaving, pottery, bookbinding, shoemaking, and more...all of the beautiful arts and crafts that exist in this world. I have learned so much from binge watching your videos, that I never knew about in the 50 years I spent on this planet before you started making your videos! I also love the format of the videos, very soothing, without any loud or distracting background music. I love to see the excitement on your face when you are talking with the artists, as well the deep appreciation and respect you show towards them.
Rajiv, I have enjoyed all of your videos, but this one is especially endearing. I love that Deborah took the thought and time to incorporate some of the yarn that you spun into your blanket when she wove it. I look forward to your videos in the coming year. Thank you so much ❤
Deborah, what a lovely woman…. She is exactly like I thought she would be when you speak of her Rajiv, and so talented. Thank you for sharing this video and the beautiful things Deborah has made.
You are friends with so many talented, skilled and adorable people! It's so reassuring to know that in these uncertain and fast changing times people like them do exist (including you of course) and continue to create amazing goods. Thanks. ❤
And for pretty fabrics: It is so easy to just mend them. Towels, socks, tablecloths, bedthrows, even shirts and trousers... Use cute patterns or mend some actual things in. Bugs, butterflies, a sun... make it look pretty and you can still use it for years to come. I wonder if you, Rajiv, are also mend your beautiful fabrics? Modern people just throw everything away because the cheap and worthless fast fashion is just not worth repairing... 😟
You never disappoint. Once again being able to watch and take in how serene life can be. It’s good to be able to take time out from a chaotic world. It’s as easy to be a worthwhile person as it is to be the other.
Superb video as usual Rajiv. Why a treat. Also, I’ve finally solved the mystery of the tiny holes magically appearing in the front of my T-shirts. Cheap fabric. It really pays off to know where every single material that goes into the things you buy comes from.
6:44 The gorgeous visuals, paired with real understanding of the process; the tactile experience, is exactly like some hungry part of the textile lover's soul is at last filled. Beautiful.
❤❤❤❤❤ I just wanted to say for the longest time I kept thinking you were going to introduce us to her because you kept talking about your cloths and I wanted to meet her so thanks again have a blessed day stay encouraged and encouraging be good to yourself
Relaxing and informative as always, so good to see and hear a little of the backstory behind the things we use everyday and how and why they were originally made! Recently purchased a second hand guernsey jumper after seeing how beautiful the patterning was from your videos and can say it’s probably the best functioning and looking jumper I’ve ever owned.
Thank you for sharing this! I call it slow wool. Some call it slow fashion or slow fabric. It is so refreshing to see 2 of you who know and love this. Sheep and wool are my life here in Montana. I raise sheep and own a wool small mill where we do custom processing for customers like you and your farmer friends. They are mostly women. So much is lost these days and I am happy to see you sharing this information. It's a lot like knowing where your food comes from. Thank you for sharing where the fiber comes from. I've owned the mill (we don't shred the wool here!) for 7 years now and just began my journey into weaving last year. I have a lot to learn in that department!
"Its a spiritual experience. I think of the things that bring value to my life" Your words Rajiv, sums up just what these exquisite pieces woven with such patience by Deborah symbolise. Her pieces are real works of art. I love the coverlet woven by Deborah which was displayed in this video ,and was lost in wonder by its intricate pattern. How many hours she must have devoted to createcthis lovely piece of art. When Deborah mentioned that she sourced her linen from India , I lost no time to look for more information on the subject and found that " Linen production in India is concentrated in specific areas, notably in the Southern states of Tamil Nadu specifically Coimbatore which has made a name for itself by developing its manufacturing capabilities, and the other state is .Kerala. Thank you Rajiv, for this fascinating video which touches on every aspect of linen production Aren't you lucky to posses a coverlet, custom made by Deborah for you.. Really something special to own. A big salute to this lady for the many beautiful things she has woven with her hands. Bless those hands!!!
This was so wonderful to see and learn about. Thank you both for the opportunity to understand what we need to do to bring back some of what we have lost.
Oh my word, this has been absolutely fascinating. Btw, I love Deborah's beautiful soft accent, as well as her weaving 😁. It has been an education and I will not be looking at hand woven fabrics in the same way ever again. Thank you xx
Fascinating video! I never knew weaving was so technical… The craftsmanship of Deborah’s work looks incredible…absolute masterpieces… Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thank you for introducing us to Deborah and posting her website. I'm heading straight to it now to see what I can order because, I love everything "FINE" and made with love!!❤❤
Hugs to both of you! I'm recovering from surgery over xmas and binge watching your youtube channel, Rajiv. The weaving is so lovely......Oh, I shared the information about those wonderful leather gloves you found in Florence, Italy with my son. He travels in that area on occasion for work. He definitely will search those out. When I have recovered, I want to try making some beeswax candles!
Nice to meet Deborah! This brought back fond memories. My Great Grandfather was a weaver. I can still hear the clicking of his loom. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so pleased to meet you, Deborah, and to witness your knowledge and skills. Deborah, you're amazing and I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you and Rajiv both for your time and for your artistry. Much love and respect for you both.
I absolutely loved this interview and adored meeting Deborah! Her work is exquisite and I loved that you both touched on the subject of quality and sustainability. I spin, dye and am learning to weave and your conversation with Deborah is valuable information to carry me through that journey. Thank you!
Oh, we're meeting Deborah. The lore!
So lovely to visit and chat with Rajiv about textiles. Thank you for the opportunity to share my work with you and your very kind followers ❤
❤❤❤
It was great to see you, Deborah. Your work room is amazing!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Buying fibers of natural materials is very important to me. Your work is beautiful. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jesus Christ loves you 🙏🏻✝️💞🎊
Because of you Rajiv I contacted Deborah a couple years ago and ordered a few kitchen towels and dishcloths. They are right here in my kitchen and are still like new. Her work is spectacular. ❤Lovely to see her on here!
May I ask how much it was? She has no prices and given she does it by hand, it might be too prohibitive for me to buy a blanket 😢

Artisans and craftsmen were once at the heart of our daily lives, its nice to see this quiet resurgence...
Deborah’s Work is Amazing and you can tell that she truly loves what she does. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching ;-)
The sound of the weaving as you walked up was wonderful and that door ringer! The pieces are wonderful. Thanks for the share.
I just came home from christmas dinner last night with the sudden urge to know how a fabric was woven before the industrial era. Perfect timing!

"Its a spiritual experience. I think of the things that bring value to my life"
Your words Rajiv, sums up just what these exquisite pieces woven with such patience by Deborah symbolise.
Her pieces are real works of art.
I love the coverlet woven by Deborah which was displayed in this video ,and was lost in wonder by its intricate pattern.
How many hours she must have devoted to createcthis lovely piece of art.
When Deborah mentioned that she sourced her linen from India , I lost no time to look for more information on the subject and found that " Linen production in India is concentrated in specific areas, notably in the Southern states of Tamil Nadu specifically Coimbatore which has made a name for itself by developing its manufacturing capabilities, and the other state is .Kerala.
Thank you Rajiv, for this fascinating video which touches on every aspect of linen production
Aren't you lucky to posses a coverlet, custom made by Deborah for you.. Really something special to own.
A big salute to this lady for the many beautiful things she has woven with her hands. Bless those hands!!!
Thanks for this addition to your intro to talented cfrafts persons. It is a treat to meet Deborah

Woow Deborah. Soo beautiful. What lovely linens and truly respect your environment consciousness in your work.❤❤❤
Hugs to both of you! I'm recovering from surgery over xmas and binge watching your youtube channel, Rajiv. The weaving is so lovely......Oh, I shared the information about those wonderful leather gloves you found in Florence, Italy with my son. He travels in that area on occasion for work. He definitely will search those out. When I have recovered, I want to try making some beeswax candles!
Love the dish cloths I ordered from Deborah! Time for some more!
It was great meeting you today at the cafe! So glad to see the incredibly talented Deborah. Keep up the amazing work!
Nice to meet Deborah! This brought back fond memories. My Great Grandfather was a weaver. I can still hear the clicking of his loom. Thanks for sharing.
@@leslikuyweski4576 how lovely! It’s nice the way the senses can take you back in time to a cherished memory.
I'm so pleased to meet you, Deborah, and to witness your knowledge and skills. Deborah, you're amazing and I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you and Rajiv both for your time and for your artistry. Much love and respect for you both.
I absolutely loved this interview and adored meeting Deborah! Her work is exquisite and I loved that you both touched on the subject of quality and sustainability. I spin, dye and am learning to weave and your conversation with Deborah is valuable information to carry me through that journey. Thank you!
