resources ~ 3 fine grains

Interior Designer, Kymberley Fraser, is passionate about antiques, textiles & designing furniture. This passion inspired her to create 3 Fine Grains ~

Using hand woven “Authenticated Original” German Grain Sacks dating back nearly a century or more, Kimberly creates furniture, pillows & art ~

These pure organic hemp sacks were used by farmers, merchants and soldiers from all over Germany dating back to the early 1800’s ~

Each one of the sacks is uniquely identified by the farmer’s name and or crest using a tar based stenciling with last and first names of the owner, his title, the town they lived or worked in and usually the year that they were used ~

The fibers were naturally homegrown, retted in local lakes and ponds & hand woven. Their ability to endure years of constant use demonstrate their extreme craftsmanship ~

Farmers and merchants used these sacks to carry grains to the local mill & then oats and flour were placed back into the sacks and returned to their owners. They are now so rare that they are now found hidden farmhouse floorboards or dowry chests.

Kymberley has taken these well preserved pieces with their stories of the past & created new items that will begin to accrue new stories.
