Recently, Emil and Sandy Corsillo from The Hill-Side took a trip down to rural Virginia to pay a visit to “Old Bob the Weaver”, the man behind The Hill-Side’s “Old Virginia Modified Herringbone“. While there, aside from feeding Bob’s chickens and drinking numerous varieties of good ole corn liquor(#sojealousduh), they took some video and made a damn good video documenting the process, pretty much the same today as it was a hundred + years ago. According to Emil and Sandy, “Old Virginia Modified Herringbone fabric is woven for The Hill-Side in rural Virginia by Bob, whose family has been weaving fabric in Virginia since the 1870s. He weaves this fabric in a weaving building in his back yard, on a 1939 Crompton & Knowles W3 shuttle loom. With the help of his wife and one assistant, he winds the warp beams, ties in the warp, winds the bobbins, and runs the loom all under one roof. Bob designed the “Modified Herringbone” weaving pattern himself.”
