That's really cool! I thought at first I was looking at a horizontal stitch, but the weft is one direction of the thread that makes up the actual fabric, so they loaded the wrong thread into the loom. Cool that they went ahead and used that fabric after seeing the mistake. The fabric is a short staple cotton, that's why they are so hairy. I wish I could afford them.

@beeblethecat thabks for the additional insight, I bought them for personal use awhile ago since they look and feel like they have seen very little use and almost didnt catch the stitching until right before I put them away.
