Popular Beni Ourain Cushion Cover I've had it on a chair for about six months. There are some stains and signs of use. [Length] 44cm, excluding fringe [Width] 44cm, excluding fringe [Material] Front: Wool, Back: Cotton [Origin] Morocco *Stuffing is not included. The long pile and fluffy, soft material are irresistible. Because it's thick, you can use it as a cushion without any filling. Each one is handmade, so no two are exactly alike. It goes perfectly with modern and Scandinavian interiors, as well as industrial-style interiors and oil-leather sofas! ＿＿＿＿ ○ What is Beni Ourain? Beni Ourain rugs are woven by the Beni Ourain tribe, a Berber people living in the central Atlas Mountains near the town of Taza in northern Morocco. The sheep in this region have long wool, and the highest quality wool in Morocco is produced here, resulting in soft and warm rugs. Originally, Beni Ourain rugs were used as gifts for celebrations and as part of a bride's dowry. ○ How are they woven? Beni Ourain weaving begins with washing the sheared wool and spinning it into yarn. In the past, white yarn was made from white sheep and black yarn from black sheep, but now white yarn is dyed black. Once the yarn is ready, the backing yarn is passed through a wooden frame, and the wool is knotted to a thickness of about 2cm. "Mono-fringe," with fringe on only one side, is a traditional Beni Ourain style. Because they are handmade, each one is unique.
