✔ Strong, supportive & cushy
✔ Great all-rounder
Woven with our unique pocket weave technique, Oakenshield Striate brings a soft malleability and a wonderful cush for the shoulders. This durable fabric is perfect for little ones and toddlers alike and will become buttery soft with wear.
We make this fabric from small batches of leftover yarns, and turn them into one of our 'ultra eco-fabrics'. So, we create something unique and beautiful instead of throwing away these yarns.
This special weaving technique forms little pockets of air across the fabric. It gives a lovely cush and slight bounce which is perfect for carrying your little ones in ultimate comfort. This ring sling is stong and supportive and, as a result, is great to use through to toddlerhood. However, it's also soft and pliable and is lovely to use with newborn babies.
This one-of-a-kind pocket weave fabric is made up of a layer of mixed blue and cool shades. This contrasts with a layer of solid rich gold to pick out the pattern along with the black and ecru organic cotton weft. In addition to strength, the pocket weave technique adds beautiful crispness to every detail making the bold, Art Deco style Middle-earth pattern stand out beautifully.
Our customers adore our pocket weaves - find out why for yourself!

This pattern celebrates the Oakenshield lineage of Dwarf-Kings who ruled over the mines and wealth of The Lonely Mountain. You can find the names of the 3 prominent Kings inscribed in runes on the design - Thrór, Thráin and Thorin as well as their title 'King Under the Mountain' along the borders.
The Hobbit tells the story of Thorin Oakenshield's return to claim the Mountain hoard from the dragon, Smaug, who ousted his grandfather, Thrór from The Lonely Mountain and this design is an ode to that quest and the Dwarves' determination.
The design nods to the motifs and hard lines of Art Deco pieces, creating a series of decorative shields which feature straight-edged interlocking patterns reminiscent of Celtic knots but with a more industrial aesthetic, reflecting the nature of the Dwarves of Middle-earth. Hidden in the artwork are elements indicating the wealth they uncovered and the objects they skillfully crafted.
