Wild Shag Pillow, 17 x 19

Product details

This handcrafted ivory pillow cover combines woven wool with wild wool shag to stunning textural effect. It’s handcrafted using wool from Chilota sheep that are born and raised on Chiloe Island off the west coast of Chile. As a result of harsh weather on the remote island wool from these sheep is durable, extra warm, and highly desirable.

The wool is first cleaned in hot water to remove the natural oils, then dried and spun into fine yarn. Yarn is dyed using natural materials like leaves, barks, roots, branches, clay, moss, and minerals before being hand-woven on ancient looms by Chiloe craftswomen. These artisans use techniques and processes that have been handed down from generation to generation with families specializing in distinct ways to weave and spin the wool.

This pillow ships directly from the maker in Los Angeles, CA and cannot be combined with other Bloomist products.

Insert Option: This pillow cover can be ordered with or without a premium down insert. To include an insert, simply select that option from the drop-down menu. Each insert is made with a 100% cotton cover filled with 90% duck feathers and 10% goose down, giving it a soft, cozy feel. For the best shape and loft, inserts are sized 2 inches larger than the cover, so a 25x25 cover will be paired with a 27x27 insert.
