Tessuti Scotland: Silk accessories with zero waste principles

22/06/2022

From her studio in Edinburgh, Scotland, textile designer Fiona McIntosh designs and makes a range of hand dyed and silk screened accessories. Using the ‘discharge’ method of printing gives Fiona more control of the colour whilst retaining the soft handle of the fabrics. She specialises in printing wool mixes, lambswool, silk and cashmere.
