Hmong Chin tribal 22 in. square cushion, handwoven ethnic raw hemp and cotton, black stitching hand sewing QQ18

Hmong Karian tribal 22 in. square cushion, handwoven ethnic raw hemp and cotton, black stitching hand sewing QQ18

The face of the pillow is constructed using a raw hemp textile in a black, brown, and blond wave pattern, from the Karian or Karen ethnic group of Burma/Myanmar/Thailand. It is handwoven on a back strap loom and colored using organic, natural dyes. It is loosely woven and very transparent, with a very rugged and natural hand feel. It is meticulously hand sewn in black stitching (4 rows of it) on the same handsome fabric we use on the back (see description below). Never to be duplicated.

The back of the pillow is constructed from a luxurious, medium weight, linen, hemp, and cotton fabric with corduroy type ridges and a wonderful hand feel. The color is a neutral unbleached mottled beige with slight color variations from the natural fibers. This fabric can have naturally occurring ripples and eddies adding to the country-rustic feel.

Pillow dimensions are 22 inches wide x 22 inches tall. Because of the particular handmade/handwoven characteristics, dimensions are intended as plus or minus half an inch. 

This pillow has an interlining/fusing applied to the rear-side of both the front and back materials to maintain fabric integrity and smashing good looks, and a top-of-the-line, YKK-zippered, fill opening for strength and durability. In addition, all fabric joints have been serged/overlocked to properly seal the edges, prevent fraying, and provide a crisp, clean finish. The last photo(s) shows the professional finish of the inside of all our pillows.

This listing is for the pillowcase only and does not include an insert, unless otherwise noted.

The cotton in these pillow cases is colored using natural, organic, vegetable dyes. This is a more expensive and time-consuming process than using chemical dyes but results in the enchanting character and soft hues of the colors you see in the photos.

Note that the handwoven textiles used in this pillow may have some aberrations such as wonky threads or other anomalies in the weaving/embroidery.
