What's behind the name

Clotho (Κλωθώ) is one of the three Moirai — the Fates of Greek myth. Her name means "the Spinner." At the birth of every mortal, it was Clotho who spun the thread of their life onto her spindle, beginning the story; her sister Lachesis measured its length, and Atropos, in time, cut it. Of the three, Clotho is the one who begins — the thread-maker, present at the very start.

We took her name for a service that lives on the other side of that thread. Where Clotho spins a beginning, we take up threads already begun — the cross-stitch someone started and set aside, the piece a hand can no longer finish — and carry them faithfully onward, matched to the original maker's materials and intent.

That is the spirit we have named ourselves for: not to replace the first hand, but to honour it — taking up a thread already begun and stitching it through to a finished heirloom.
