Hand Dyed, Woven Handle Stitched Hand Broom

These Woven Handle Stitch Brooms are one of a kind.  They are handmade and hand dyed natural broomcorn with specialty woven handles. There is a nice leather strap woven in to help it hang. Brooms may not be the exact one pictured and will have some variation. 

Sizes of brooms vary but are made w/ 14” broomcorn and have a full fan approximately 8-9” wide.

Hang them on the wall to help them keep their shape and mist them with white vinegar and water if they get musty. Preservatives are not used in the dye, so fading can occur if left in sunlight. Bleeding can occur if they get too wet. Since this is a natural material you may notice color variations in the dyes, especially black. This is normal for natural, non-toxic dyes and the natural dyeing process.

The Broom Making Story: One of the artist's ancestors is a Lenape indigenous woman who was known to travel around, sell brooms, linens, tell fortunes, and heal people with herbs. Her partner is also helping to make these brooms, and he is using the inspiration of his Appalachian ancestors, mixed-European ancestors, and connections to the First Nation Metis.
