The Pepén cushion cover was made by artisans from the Social Enterprise of Artisan Women of Bautista Chico, in Chiapas. The base fabric is 100% wool, to make it the artisans shear the lamb, clean the wool and then cardan it manually with the “kalax”, then prepare the warp, once the wool is warped, it is given a bath of gruel. of corn to give resistance to the wool and they dry it in the sun, later they start with the weaving on the backstrap loom. To obtain the black color they use brown wool for the hurdimbre and for the weft the black wool, once having the finished canvas the dyeing process begins, for this they must collect dyeing plants and black mud, they are placed together with the canvas in a pot large over low heat, and must be stirred constantly for 2 days and 2 nights to obtain the black color. Finally they embroidered with 100% cotton thread. Acquire this piece and contribute to the reactivation of the economy of the artisans. It is suggested to dry clean for your care.
