The craft

Tassels & fringes

The finishing touch, done by hand. Our fringes are made from the fabric’s own threads.

Self-fringes

At the end of a woven piece, the artisan carefully pulls out the cross threads to free the long warp threads. These are then twisted and knotted into neat fringes, so the tassel is part of the fabric, not stitched on.

Wool tassels

For our pom-pom and wool tassels, yarn is wrapped, tied, cut and trimmed by hand, then stitched to the edge one by one.

At Varsaca

Every tassel and fringe on our sofa covers and cushions is finished by hand in our Pune workshop.

Care

Wash gently in a laundry bag. Comb fringes straight while damp.
