The raised designs were made in a technique known as tufting, in which the cotton roving was embroidered over twigs, creating loops on the surface when the twigs were removed. The loops were then cut or sheared, leaving the strands standing in the air. When the textile was washed, the strands fluffed up in a pomponlike effect.
