Hanging it
The wide format fills the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard. No sleeve or rod pocket is attached. Sew hook-and-loop tape along the top edge and screw the matching strip to a wooden batten. You can also use a clip rail, or have a tailor add a casing.
Village life in wool
The weaver works freehand, placing the domes, the palms and every flower of the garden directly in plant-dyed wool. The towers give this pigeon tapestry its shape, with the garden spread out at their feet.
