How it’s Made
Our carefully selected craftsmen and women belong to rural farming communities and embroider during the winter as an essential form of income.
STEP 1
Our design is traced onto paper and outlined using pin-prick holes. This sheet is laid onto a cotton canvas and dusted with pigment, creating a stencilled pattern for the embroiderer to follow.
STEP 2
Our bespoke colour palettes are created using azo-free dyes to dye our premium woollen yarn. These are distributed through the embroidering community along with our stencilled canvases.
STEP 3
The embroiderer sets to work in their home, using a hook-shaped Aari needle and adopting the traditional seated posture with knees up and back against a firm cushion or wall for support.
STEP 4
Finally, the completed pieces are collected from the villages and each washed by hand and dried under the warmth of the sun.
Moppet’s materials are sustainably sourced and our pieces are ethically produced in the homes of the artisans who create them, around their own schedules and childcare needs. You can read more about the creation process here.
How to Hang
Three loops on the back can be used to thread a hanging rod or to hang directly on the wall.
You can use your preferred style of wall hooks – the weight (approx 800g) will be distributed across the three loops and hooks. We recommend ‘Command’ hooks for customers looking for a no-nails solution.
