Pillow case is made of handspun and handwoven wool/cotton front, with medium grade brown/black tweed back, lined with soft cotton. Hand wash only.

Limited run decorative pillows, artisan made by Margaret from our Romanov sheep wool. Each pillow is a legacy artwork created through an intensive process of traditional shearing, washing, hand spinning, dyeing, weaving, and sewing. Folkarts carried from one generation to the next. With this pillow, you are now part of the tradition. Click to see other pillows in the collection.

CARE

Remove the wool cover and hand wash in warm water with gentle soap. Don not agitate or rub. Rinse with a cool water soak. Using a dry towel, press gently with your hands to get most of the water out. Do not ring the wool cover. Lay it on a flat surface to air dry. Spot clean the pillow form.

The Traditions Collection of handwoven pillows represents the culmination of Margaret’s Sheep to Shawl apprenticeship, a one year program through the West Virginia Humanities Folklife Program. Watch the video:
