ABOUT THE PIECE
Handwoven sheep's wool cushion crafted on a pedal loom, following a traditional technique from Teotitlán del Valle. The geometric design is integrated directly into the weave, resulting in a firm and well-defined surface.
In this piece, the color is built upon a base of zapote negro, processed through multiple dye baths. Over this base, Brazilwood is applied to achieve a dark grey tone, which is then deepened through a first, second, third, and fourth dye bath. In certain sections, pericón yellow is incorporated, bringing striking contrast and warm nuances to the overall composition.
The result is a composition rich in layers and depth, where the color beautifully reveals the dyeing process and the sheer complexity of the artisanal work.
Technique
Flatwoven on a pedal loom. The wool is spun and pre-dyed using natural pigments, and the pattern is built directly during the weaving process—without any subsequent embroidery or appliqués—honoring the traditional textile methods of the region.
Care & Longevity
Wool is a naturally resilient and durable fiber. Regular vacuuming or gently shaking the cushion is recommended.
For spot cleaning, clean only the affected area with cold water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive products and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Note
Every cushion is one of a kind. Slight variations in color, texture, or pattern are inherent to the artisanal process and form an essential part of its value.
