Since 1969, Les Tisserands has been involved in the conservation, innovation and promotion of the ancient art of weaving to the loom of Valgrisenche, Pays des Tisserands.
By mixing the ancient gestures with the creative ideas of the craftswomen, the drap is born: a pure virgin wool fabric, unique and exceptional for its resistance and warmth.
The cooperative stands out for the choice to use wool from the shearing of the Rosset sheep, an indigenous race of Valle d’Aosta, threatened with extinction. In addition, the cooperative follows the different stages of transformation from the wool fibre to the yarn with which they weave fabrics in natural or multicoloured tones, suitable for the creation of warm and comfortable clothes and durable furnishings.
Les Tisserands offer not only fabrics by the meter and natural yarns for knitting and weaving, but also scarves and ponchos, bags, hats and other accessories: all unique pieces handcrafted from pure wool.
