Franca and the loom of Orgosolo · Village collective

Pibiones means grains. In the high villages of Barbagia, weavers loop wool so each knot stands proud like wheat. Franca’s atelier turns sheep from neighboring pastures into throws, bags, and panels whose geometry still answers the nuraghe: circles, steps, and the quiet mathematics of stone.
