White Patchwork Pillow

Treko, which means ‘yarn of wool’ in native Chilean dialect, is a line of luxury textiles handcrafted on Chiloé, a remote island off the coast of Chile.

Fusing elements of striking individual design with traditional weaving and knitting, the textiles are made from 100% natural wool and are crafted using techniques dating from the 16th century, passed down within the Huilliche community.

Founded with the desire to preserve and share the work of these master artisans, Treko combines a contemporary aesthetic with the time honored traditions of the region and its people.

All of our products are commissioned and handmade by the craftswomen of Chiloé. The textiles are made with 100% wool from ’Chilota’ sheep, that are born and raised on the island. Their main characteristic is their capacity to adapt to difficult weather conditions which makes their wool resistant, flexible and durable.

The process by which these luxurious wool pieces are made starts with shearing the sheep, cleaning the wool in hot water to remove the natural oils of the sheep, drying and spinning the wool into fine threads before hand weaving into unique textile patterns and textures.

The textiles we use are colored by natural dyes using leaves, barks, roots, branches or mineral elements.
