Moroccan Pillows (via pufikhomes.com)

Refined Sabra cactus silk cushions handmade in Morocco.

The process of working this type of silk, as well as being long, is very fascinating: the pointed leaves of the Saharan agave cactus are collected, hammered and then soaked to release fibers. The fibers are then spun by hand using traditional processes to produce cactus silk, which is then hand-woven on a loom. For the colors, only natural vegetable and botanical dyes are used.
