Colourful Bilum - Skin Pik
Colourful Bilum - Skin Pik
- This bilum is hand-woven from acrylic and wool yarn using a traditional weaving technique.
- The yarn is twisted by placing it on the weaver's thigh and is rolled in a backward and forward motion using hands.
- The twisted yarns are then hand-woven into bilum bags. This process takes a few weeks.
- Bilums are very versatile and expandable.
- Each bilum has a story and the patterns are a visual language and authentic to the women who weave them.
Dimensions:
- 79cm shoulder strap
- 39cm high
- 45cm wide
These bilums help support the weavers and their families to have a stable income through our Project Two Mile initiative.
