Tallitot
Each Tallit is woven from cotton by weavers in the Jewish Community on a traditional foot loom provided by the Meketa Livelihood Project. The pictures are examples of designs and colours.
The larger tallitot come with the traditional pattern of single colour stripes (blue, green, red, silver, black or purple) on a white background, or in multi colours, including a rainbow pattern (numbers 5 and 6, for example)
It is possible to order a custom made tallit with colours of your choice. The styles and colours shown for the smaller tallitot can be requested in a larger size, and vice versa.
​
However, our current stock varies, so that not all designs are immediately available. The time taken to re-stock is influenced by whether people are travelling to Ethiopia currently and other pressures on availability of materials.
Therefore please allow time when ordering a custom made tallit.
