I used 14 different handspun yarns in this collection and handwove the pieces on rigid heddle looms. The yarns include polwarth, teeswater (from Exmoor), mule (that's a blue faced leicester cross) and merino. The cushions are all backed with handdyed pure wool fabric and the fillings are plump feather cushion inners.
Some of these pieces are available from my etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/bigskytextiles or, if you live in the Bristol area, you can also find some lavender cushions and squishy feather cushions at the very lovely shop Tilly's Vintage Treasures in Backwell. Comments are closed.
