PRODUCTION

Our Pom Pom Pillows are made by a progressive collective of women in the north-west region of Tunisia.  Each piece is handcrafted on the same style looms found in Egypt over 6,000 years ago.  The process starts in the spring (May) with the trimming of wool from angora goats.  Work on wool lasts several months and has to be finished before winter.  Once the wool has been cleaned, spun into yarn and dyed, winter has arrived and the artisans can begin weaving. 

DYES

The yarn is organically dyed with pomegranates, beats, rosemary, juniper, olive and mugwort tree branches.  Spices such as coriander, curcuma and turmeric are some of the spices that are also used to dye the fibers.

**Disclaimer: Although the dyes are 100% natural, there is a marginal amount of chemicals used to take out unpleasant scents from the dyes and to help preserve the colors.  

CARE

Vacuum with a suction-only setting regularly.  For stains, use a natural upholstery cleaner (like this one).
