Triaxial weaving is a textile construction technique that uses three sets of yarns interwoven at 60-degree angles. This contrasts with traditional weaving, which typically uses two sets of yarns at right angles (warp and weft). Triaxial weaving is known for its strength, flexibility, and unique aesthetic qualities.

Vist to Lady Sew and Sew Henley

Lady Sew and Sew is open for Group Visit bookings – whether you’re just a few friends or a whole busload!

 

The Lady Sew and Sew Henley Warehouse is in full swing – and we’re taking bookings for Group visits, as well as holding fabulous exhibitions!

Book your visit to coincide with one of our exhibitions being held in the warehouse or let us entertain you with talks and demonstrations. Visit us on one of our Open Days and you are sure to be inspired by our guest speakers and demonstrators.

With every visit, our aim is to provide you and your Group with a real day-out experience: we offer a dedicated area for your group; talks; a show and tell of the latest products on the market from our staff; and a quilt gallery, too.

Is there much to see in the Warehouse? You bet – just take a look at some of what we have… over 15,000 fabrics, no end of yarn, and your favourite haberdashery items. We’re Europe’s biggest patchwork and quilting shop, major stockists of designers including the Kaffe Fassett Collective, William Morris and Tula Pink, and we also have huge ranges of wadding, blenders and anything else you could need. We stock many of the leading brands including Lewis & Irene, Makower, Moda (Grunge so far, but more collections coming soon!), Tilda, Riley Blake, Northcott and FreeSpirit. Plus our staff will of course be on hand to help, advise and make suggestions for your next project.

We’re conveniently located in beautiful Henley-on-Thames, an hour from London and a couple of hours from Birmingham and Bristol, and have easy coach drop-off to the door, and free car parking onsite.
