handwoven
Made on looms
Handwoven describes fabric or textiles made on a loom operated by hand rather than machine: a handwoven rug, handwoven silk scarves.
The term suggests craftsmanship, tradition, and often irregularities that distinguish the product from mass-produced goods.
Handwoven items typically command higher prices and are valued for their artisanal quality.
