OUR MISSION
With The Weave Lab’s own line of products we’ve given ourselves the challenge of creating every single product using all the leftover quantities of yarn that accumulate in our partner mill’s warehouse. True textile up-cycling. For this reason, each of our products will be made in small batch quantities and will be offered in limited edition colorations. If you see something you like, buy it before it’s gone.
Every custom weaving mill’s challenge is figuring how to avoid accumulating a warehouse full of small leftover quantities of yarns that they can’t use. Custom weavers buy yarn in small quantity dyelots, and our modern manufacturing environment with its requirements for very high-quality standards requires the manufacturer to buy a fresh dyelot of yarn for each production run. Dye houses are not able to easily customize their dyelot sizes, so the weaving mill has no option other than to buy more yarn than they need to fill an order. This formula is one of the biggest explanations for why there are so few custom weaving mills today. It’s too easy to accumulate a warehouse full of hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of dyed yarn that has been paid for, but that unfortunately becomes not “usable” in the mill’s main product offering. The Weave Lab’s goal is to find a solution to this conundrum.
