Description
A handwoven Moroccan pillow cover in 100% hypoallergenic cotton, trimmed with pom pom tassels along the seam. Woven in grey and white tones, 18 x 18 in to fit a standard throw pillow insert.
Construction
- Handwoven cotton: the base cloth is woven by hand, not machine-loomed.
- Pom pom trim: tassels are hand-tied along the seam.
- Natural variation: stripe spacing and pom pom placement vary slightly cover to cover — a mark of handwork.
Care
Machine washable on a gentle cycle with a color-safe detergent. Hang to dry — tumble drying can loosen the pom poms and tassels over time.
About the craft
Karchel buys these pieces direct from weavers across Morocco, where wool is hand-spun and dyed, then set on a loom and woven or knotted entirely by hand. Small differences in tone, pattern spacing and fringe length between pieces are a mark of that process, not a defect.
How it compares
Measured against the two things people usually weigh a Moroccan textile against. Categories, not brands.

Shipping & Returns
Free shipping within the United States with no minimum order. Rugs and larger textiles travel by parcel courier or insured freight depending on size; smaller pieces like throws and pillow covers ship by parcel courier.
Covered by our 30-day return policy. Full delivery timings are set out in our Shipping Policy.
Care
Vacuum on a low suction setting or shake out loose dirt outdoors. Spot-clean spills straight away with cold water and a mild soap — avoid soaking wool, which can felt and shrink.
Rotate a rug occasionally so it wears evenly under foot traffic. Loose fibres rising to the surface in the first few weeks are normal on a new wool piece, not a fault.
Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight, which will fade natural dyes over time.

How it is made
Knotted by hand, one row at a time
Short chapters on how this piece is woven, what it is made from and how it reaches you.
On the loom
Knotted row by row, by hand
Each piece is built on an upright loom, one knot at a time, following a pattern carried in the weaver's memory rather than printed from a file. A large rug takes weeks — which is also why no two ever come out quite the same.
Materials
Natural wool, naturally dyed
Wool is sheared, washed and spun before a single knot is tied, which is why a genuine hand-knotted piece feels dense and springy rather than flat. Colour depth shifts slightly across a piece — a mark of natural dye, not a printing error.
Ways to use it
It earns its place more than one way
A handwoven textile is worth the room it takes up because it rarely does only one job.
- Underfoot, grounding an entryway, a living room or a bedside
- Layered, a smaller flatweave kilim over a larger wool piece
- On the wall, where a rug or bolster reads as a tapestry
- On the sofa, adding pattern without redoing the room
