Sardinia’s textile heritage runs from household use to today’s workshops and museums. Wool, linen, and cotton are still woven on horizontal and vertical looms into rugs, bedspreads, saddle bags, and table linens whose motifs are a true symbol of regional identity.

The craft survives across the island, but knowledge and active workshops are concentrated in Samugheo, a hill town in central Sardinia that has made weaving its calling card through a regional museum and a long-running summer exhibition.
