Guild Monthly Meeting
10:00am, First Baptist Church in person and via zoom
After working for several textile mills and companies, Susie developed a love and respect for American manufacturing. She is also motivated by her deep commitment to hand weaving and her studio art practice. Simply put, she understands how to design and weave yarn into beautiful fabric
Modern Loom's focus is quality not quantity as seen in a launch of only 5 styles of wool throw blankets. As a one-person, female-owned company, it is a priority to oversee the entire design and production process. Modern Loom proudly partners with a highly respected textile mill, finisher, and sewing facility that are all located in the USA. Even the product labels are domestically manufactured.
