Desi naturals hand woven wool cushions

These wool cushion covers are hand woven from local, "desi", wool on traditional pit looms in Kutch, Gujarat, an area famed for its weaving. The weavers who create this wool cloth are part of a group of highly skilled weavers in Kutch, who have been encouraged by a local master weaver to stay in their villages and pursue their traditional craft. By being paid a fair price for their work, many have chosen to stay and weave, rather than leave the area and their families for work in the cities. Desi wool has a distinctive "dry" texture, typical of wool from this area.
