Introduction	Textiles - as essential a part of our lives as shelter and food. Keeping us warm (or cool) from birth to death, decorating our homes, whether a tent or a palace, draping on our bodies, produced with thrift or providing an outlet for complex creativity. At Llynfi, our main activity is designing and making clothing with fine natural fibres and fabrics - items that have style and longevity. We hope you will enjoy following our thoughts, observations and developments along the way.
