Description
The uniqueness of our Merino Wool & Alpaca Cushion lies in its one-of-a-kind character, meticulous craftsmanship and the exceptional quality of the natural fibres used.
Handwoven on a manual loom, this cushion combines 40% premium merino wool and 60% Alpaca, offering remarkable softness and natural warmth. Crafted with a refined variant of the twill technique, it reveals a textured, striking design with distinctive geometric patterns. It features a discreet zipper for easy cleaning, and its dense weave provides excellent insulation and lasting comfort.
The design and making process is entirely manual. Ana and Francis weave each cushion thread by thread on a wooden artisan loom, using only their hands and feet. They carefully attend to every finishing detail—from hand-washing with natural soap to brushing to enhance softness and loft, followed by a final steam-pressing done by hand.
This thoughtful craftsmanship, paired with the superior quality of the fibres, ensures that the cushion will bring enduring charm to your home for years to come.

My visit to Ana y Francis Tejedores’ atelier took place in January 2022. I fondly remember being surrounded by an array of colors and textures, listening to the rhythmic sound of the looms that Ana and Francis skillfully operated with their feet and hands. Their notebooks, with annotations and sketches, revealed the precision behind each woven piece and the ideas for future designs. The serenity of the atelier blended with the beauty of the landscape outside—greens, blues and ochres.
Touching their scarves and feeling the softness of their rugs, cushions and throws, I could sense the care they put into their craft. Meeting Ana and Francis was a pleasure, and I remain grateful for the warm welcome they offered me and my six dear friends who accompanied me. It was a memorable visit for all of us.

DIMENSIONS: 41x46cm
COLORS: Warp in natural color and weft in shades of grey alpaca.
WARMTH: high
FIBERS: 40% Merino Wool, 60% Alpaca.
Merino wool is a premium fiber derived from the hair of Merino sheep. Known for its exceptional softness, flexibility, breathability and excellent insulating properties, the Merino sheep used to obtain this wool are native to Extremadura. They are treated with utmost care and respect to ensure the highest quality and softness.
Alpaca: is considered one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world. It originates from the Andes (Peru) and is obtained from the hair of the camelid of the same name. Alpaca stands out for its exceptional quality, softness, warmth, thermo-regulating properties, hypoallergenic nature, and odor resistance. Despite its fineness, alpaca garments provide excellent warmth while remaining highly breathable. Additionally, due to its scale-free structure, alpaca fiber does not felt.
FINISHES: There are no knots in either the warp or the weft (horizontal threads). The weft splices are meticulously hand-finished on the selvedges with a needle to enhance quality. Each piece is hand-washed with natural soap and steam ironed to ensure the quality of the fiber and dye. This process allows it to reach its final dimensions and showcase all its qualities.
CARE: To preserve the quality and prevent possible damage, we recommend hand- washing it with mild detergent and cold water. When drying, turn it inside out and use clothespins on the hem to avoid leaving marks and, if necessary, to facilitate ironing. Although this piece does not require ironing, if desired, follow the recommended temperature settings for wool on your iron.
