Trapunto means “to prick with a needle” in Latin. In Italian trapunto means “to embroider”. Many of the luxury woven bedspreads by Maine Heritage Weavers are of trapunto design.
Maine Heritage Weavers continues the tradition of weaving Heirloom quality bedspreads in one of the former Bates Mills in Lewiston, Maine on Jacquard and dobby looms similar to those used by the legendary Bates Fabrics.
Cape Cod, Tuscany, Heritage, Abigail Adams and Queen Elizabeth are some of the elegant matelasse styles still offered. These elegant woven bedspreads are available in seven different color combinations, pillow shams, and throw sizes. Woven of the highest quality cotton available, these bedding products are fade resistant and will not shrink more than 3%. Custom sizes are available and free fabric swatches are offered.
