Holly Berry runs a thoughtful hand-weaving workshop from the bottom of her beautiful garden, producing small batches of meaningful textiles both in house and in collaboration with the Bristol Weaving Mill. A female-run micro mill in the heart of Bristol.
Crafting small batches of intuitive and contemporary woven textiles in the form of scarves, blankets and accessories for the home and body, these slowly made woven works make warm, comforting and long-lasting companions.
The word LOVE is woven and repeated throughout the design of the woven cloth, using Morse-code markings to create the distinct and colourful dot and dash pattern that is woven into the cloths double layered structure.
Sustainable design and high quality are at the heart of Holly’s studio practice; as well as using all natural and biodegradable materials, her use of slow small-scale, local production methods and limited edition batch weaving means less waste and more connection with what we make and consume. This is where Holly intuitively finds balance as a hand-weaver and designer-maker.

Made from Hollys’ iconic Morse-code LOVE woven cloth, and backed in soothing linen to sit comfortably against your closed eyes, these wide and comforting eye pillows are generously filled with a hand blended mixture of organic lavender + cherry stones, which can be gently warmed on a radiator or in a microwave for 30 seconds at a time, as well as being cooled in the fridge to sooth and uplift your frazzled eyes and mind.
Made in the UK in small batches. Due to the nature of the woven cloth and the sustainably sourced linen backing, each piece is individual and unique.
Extra long design to allow pillow to mould around eyes and sit on your temples during relaxation, meditation or as part of your yoga practice.

How to Wash:
All of Holly’s work is recommended dry clean only.
We recommend that you follow the dry clean only advice on any of her woven woollens unless you’re an experienced wool-washer.
The professional finish on mill woven pieces makes it tricky to achieve the same finish after washing at home, however her hand woven pieces can be carefully washed at home on a wool wash or gently by hand, using a specialist wool detergent (Holly uses Woolite when hand finishing after weaving). Use a low heat (about 30 degrees celcius) and not too much friction, as too much agitation can cause shrinkage and felting to occur. Small marks or stains should be treated gently and as quickly as possible to first soak up the stain. Remember rubbing can cause the fibres to felt together.
How to Dry:
If you have decided to wash your scarf or blanket, please remember to dry flat and away from too much heat, a gentle reshaping before drying is recommended. Drying or hanging over a clothes dryer (or similar) can cause the piece to become misshapen or to stretch. When dry a little steam from an iron or clothes steamer can refresh and plump the fibres, but remember ironing will flatten the piece and remove an element of its three dimensional texture.
