Karim Jaekel is an Albuquerque weaver whose work reflects a refined appreciation for color, pattern, and the beauty of handwoven cloth. Working primarily with ikat-dyed linen, silk, and fine merino, Karim creates textiles that are rich in texture, subtle movement, and visual depth.

His use of ikat dyeing brings a sense of rhythm and softness to each piece, allowing color and pattern to emerge through the weaving process rather than simply sit on the surface. The result is work that feels both timeless and contemporary, grounded in traditional textile techniques while offering a modern approach to wearable art.

Karim’s pieces celebrate the tactile qualities of natural fibers and the individuality that comes from creating each textile by hand.
