History:

Materials:
Natural hemp palm, copper wire, palm wood

Variation: 
Each broom is entirely handcrafted from natural materials. Exact size and shape may vary.

Care Instructions:
Hang dry if the bristles get wet to ensure shape and longevity. When warping to the bristles occurs, the ends can be trimmed and straightened back to their original shape.
