Andalusian Stripe Tallit
Say the blessing for donning tzitzit and then let this hand dyed tallit settle lightly on your shoulders. Let its soft drape and elegant, shimmering colors connect you with the beauty of Divine Spirit. Know that this tallit was made for you with the intention of hiddur mitzvah (beautifying a mitzvah). May you feel sheltered beneath the wings of Shekhinah when you wear one of my tallitot.
In 52% silk and 48% cotton this beautiful satin weave fabric is printed with shimmery gold metallic ink. The swirly striped designs, inspired by Medieval Andalusian art**, are the work of my husband Kevin Cain, and the beautiful calligraphy printed on the atarah (neck band) is by artist Risa Aqua.

Care: Hand wash and drip dry, press on back side with steam or Dry Clean.

Fiber Geekery:
The white linen warp is wound in sections and painted with fiber reactive dyes in a cascade of colors before being threaded onto the loom. The main weft is a smooth spun silk in a natural white that is very soft to the touch and gives this fabric an amazing drape. Variations of weave structure add stripes of subtle interest to the cloth. The purple and teal accent stripes are tencel.
Tablet Woven Atarah
Make your tallit extra special with a handwoven atarah. Create a treasured gift for a bar/bat mitzvah or to honor someone for a special occasion. Designed to coordinate with my handwoven tallitot, they can also be sewn onto the fabric of your choice.
The bands are handwoven in tencel, bamboo rayon, cotton or a combination of these three fibers.
Average size is approximately 1-3/4” wide x 22-24” long.
