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, creating a firm and well-defined surface. In this piece, the natural un-dyed grey center and the raw wool base act as neutral elements. Surrounding them, the color is built through an intense initial dye bath and successive additional baths that modulate the intensity and generate new nuances. In certain sections, complementary pigments are incorporated to achieve a third and fourth color. The result is a balanced composition, where the natural tones enhance the strength of the color and showcase the artisanal dyeing process.

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.
