Colourful Bilum - Diamond

Colourful Bilum - Diamond

• This bilum is hand-woven from acrylic and wool yarn using a traditional weaving technique.
•  The yarn is twisted by placing it on the weaver's thigh and is rolled in a backward and forward motion using hands.
• The twisted yarns are then hand-woven into  bilum bags. This process takes a few weeks.
• Bilums are very versatile and expandable.
• Each bilum has a story and the patterns are a visual language and authentic to the women who weave them.

Dimensions:

• 80cm shoulder strap
• 45cm high
• 56cm wide

These bilums help support the weavers and their families to have a stable income through our Project Two Mile initiative.
