01 — THE CRAFTMILLSTREAM HOME

Some things are
worth doing by hand.

In Pennsylvania, Millstream Home’s Amish makers weave each broom on a traditional loom that has been in the same family for more than 50 years.

Natural broom corn. A solid oak handle. The small variations that make each one its own. You can see the care in the making, every time you reach for it.

That is part of the pleasure of a useful object made this way. The fibers have texture. The oak has grain. The stitching is there to do a job, and becomes part of the beauty of the broom.

A NOTE ON HANDMADE

Made one at a time.
Never quite the same.

A handmade home does not have to be a perfect home. There can be flour on the floor, shoes at the door, and a broom you are happy to leave within reach.

THE WELL-KEPT HOME

Life happens here.
Make room for it.

AT HOME, EVERY DAYSMALL RITUALS. REAL LIFE.

For the life
that happens between.

You do not need a farmhouse to appreciate a well-made broom. Just a place you care about, and all the ordinary things that happen there.

AFTER BREAKFAST

The kitchen reset.

Toast crumbs under the table. A dusting of flour from the morning’s baking. A few minutes with a broom, and the kitchen is ready for whatever comes next.

WHEN EVERYONE COMES HOME

The well-used doorway.

A house is meant to be lived in. Keep your broom near the entry for those little cleanups between coming inside and settling in.

BEFORE THE DAY IS DONE

A quieter finish.

Put the chairs back. Clear the table. Give the floor a sweep. Sometimes looking after a home is simply making it feel ready for tomorrow.

03 — THE KEEPINGA SMALL ACT OF CARE

A little tending
goes a long way.

When the broom corn begins to spread, Millstream Home recommends this simple way to bring the fibers back into shape.

01

Soak.

Soften the corn fibers in cold water.

02

Gather.

Gently pull the fibers together and tie with string.

03

Let dry.

Allow the fibers to dry, then remove the string.

CARE FOR THE THINGS YOU KEEP

Natural fibers change with use. When they begin to fan out, reshaping is a small bit of maintenance you can do at home. Give them time to dry before the next sweep.

This is part of living with natural materials: using them, noticing them, and giving them a little attention along the way.

BEFORE YOU BRING IT HOME

A few
good questions.

What makes this broom different?

It is handwoven by Amish makers in Pennsylvania using natural broom corn and a solid oak handle. Its appeal is in the materials, the craft, and its everyday usefulness.

How big is it?

Approximately 56 inches tall and 12 inches wide. This is a full-size household broom. Because each one is handmade, some variation is expected.

Which colors can I order?

Choose Natural or Black at the top of the page. Price and availability update for the color you select. Sold-out options cannot be added to your bag.

How do Natural and Black look at home?

Natural brings the warm, straw-like color of broom corn into the room. Black adds a deeper contrast against wood, plaster, and pale walls. Use either color selector to see every broom photograph in your chosen finish.

Will mine look exactly like the photographs?

Each broom is handmade, so the shape, grain, fibers, and stitching can vary slightly. The photographs show the materials and character to expect; those small differences are part of the appeal.

Is a dustpan included?

The broom is sold on its own. If available, you can choose to add the walnut dustpan separately above. The additional price is shown before you add the pair.

What about shipping and returns?

Shipping charges and available options are shown at checkout. Read Rarely’s shipping policy and return policy for current terms before ordering.
