Arachovian wefts

One of the most typical traditional products of Arachova is its famous wefts.

The weaving art is widespread to the women of Arachova who, from a very young age, learn to create true pieces of art.

In every household, there were broadlooms where the women of the house would weave everything each household needed as well as their girls’ dowries. Rugs, flokati, pouches, crewels, blankets and many more.

Through the years though, this art started fainting away, until the women from the associations of Arachova undertook the work of continuing the tradition.

With a great pleasure they create colorful masterpieces with natural dyes, which stand at a prominent place at the stores that sell products of popular art.
