Please reference the Store Policies here.
Quilts
- All quilts are made by hand by me. Many are naturally dyed, or contain naturally dyed elements (see natural dye care FAQ here). The patchwork is pieced by machine, then hand quilted, with the final binding hand sewn. The listing will include the fibre content, along with how it was made (natural dyes vs. commercially dyed fabric, etc.).
Bags & Small Works
- The listing of these products will contain specific information on each item, including sewn techniques, any additional hardware (zippers, straps, etc.). For the small works/quilted things, these will likewise contain additional information on fibre make up.
All items are sewn and hand quilted by myself.
Naturally Dyed Goods
- I have an additional FAQ here on how to care for your naturally dyed goods.
Mill Spun Yarn
- This shop was originally 100% about Alberta wool, and while it no longer caters to that, you may still find yarn from time to time in the listings as local yarn is still near and dear to my heart. Mill spun yarns are 100% Alberta grown and processed yarns, specially spun for Sawtooth Textiles (unless otherwise noted).
I naturally dye all yarns myself after they’ve been spun using either local materials, or ethically sourced dyestuffs. Each harvest is different, and each dye pot is different. Because of that, there are no dye lots, and each batch may be different even if the same species of dye plant/insect was used.
Due to the spinning process you may see a knot or two in your skein, a piece of hay, or a slight inconsistency. These yarns are not processed with harsh chemicals, or in giant factory settings, so you can see the human touch in them.
Where are you located?
- Sawtooth Textiles is an online-only shop, located in Alberta, Canada. Occasionally I will attend handmade markets a few times a year; all upcoming markets will be listed on the blog.
