Selvedge’s winter sale continues until the end of January, with 20% off selected items, including back issues of the magazine, books from our store, the Selvedge 2020 calendar and print and digital subscriptions. Visit our January sale page to access all the sale items and enter code 2020 at checkout to redeem the offer. Here we look at a few sale highlights.

The Selvedge 2020 calendar

The Selvedge calendar features 12 beautiful textiles inspired by the pages of the magazine. For example, in February we celebrate darning samplers from The Netherlands, which were used to teach girls the useful skill of mending worn household textiles. In July we feature a tent handing from the The Tentmakers of Cairo. Their ancestors made the majestic traveling tents of the Ottoman Empire, and today they produce intricate appliquéd textiles that are unique to Egypt. And if you can stand to think that far ahead, December 2020 features the distinctive look of ikat from Uzbekistan.
