The pillow collection pairs centuries-old chain stitch techniques with contemporary design. Each pillow is meticulously embroidered by hand using the finest 3-ply New Zealand wool. The wool is hand dyed, which adds depth and nuance to the color. Master artisans embroider fields of small, dense stitches that give the designs movement, luster, texture, and durability. Some styles incorporate rayon yarns used to heighten the motifs and impart lustrous highlights throughout. Textural contrasts between wool and silk as well as the straight rows of stitches add depth to the embroidery.
