Overview

I am Mariagrazia and from Lodi I decided to come to Gubbio where I became passionate about the art of hand weaving, which today is my job.
Weaving with the loom is a form of craftsmanship typical of the Umbrian tradition. In Gubbio in particular, the "Guild of Art of Wool" was large and powerful; proof of this are the imposing Logge dei Tiratori, which were used to dry woolen cloths.
In my shop, located in the splendid upper part of medieval Gubbio, you can see a large wooden frame for hand weaving; as well as discovering my artifacts here made with different types of yarn such as wool, linen and cashmere.
