Wear a one-of-a-kind piece made from natural fibers that are good for your body
Handwoven scarves, wraps, ponchos, and throws in wool, silk, and linen, dyed and spun by hand. Every piece leaves the loom once and is never repeated.
Nothing here started as plastic
Most of what's on a clothing rack now started as plastic. Polyester, acrylic, and nylon are petroleum products woven to look like fabric, and a lot of people who wear them daily never connect the itch, the static, or the way they never quite breathe to the fiber itself. Wool regulates temperature and wicks moisture the way it always has, on the sheep first. Silk carries a natural sheen and drapes instead of clinging. Linen softens and gets better with age instead of pilling and wearing thin.
Three Bags Full works only in natural fiber, and most pieces start further back than the yarn store: Carol spins and hand-dyes much of her own fiber before it ever touches the loom, so the color and the material are hers from the start.
No two pieces come out the same
Carol doesn't take commission work. Every scarf, wrap, poncho, and throw is shaped by whatever color and fiber that calls to her the day she sits down at the loom, which means no two pieces come out the same, ever. If you're browsing and something catches your eye, that piece exists once.
What's shown on the Shop & Gallery page is what's actually ready to go, not a catalog of things that could be reordered in your size.
Every piece, one range at a time
Prices are ranges, not fixed numbers, because fiber content and hours on the loom vary from piece to piece.
Long before Carol wove anything, there were the sheep
Her grandfather, Harry Austin, was a shepherd who spent every day of his life with his flock, and his farm is where Three Bags Full gets its name. Carol grew up raising bum lambs, and that early closeness to the animals is still part of how she works today, starting every piece with old-fashioned methods of preparing fiber that honor both the sheep and the land they came from.
“[She] loves it and feels so elegant wearing it.”
