Abersoch Regatta Striped Cotton Cushion - Navy

The Abersoch Regatta cushion takes a rectangular 30 x 50cm bolster form and carries a classic vertical stripe running the length of the cloth, worked in a deep navy ground crossed by narrower blue and cream lines. Three little embroidered sailboats sit across the centre, their sails picked out in soft greys, warm reds and off-white, so the boats read as raised stitchwork rather than print. This is the long, low shape that suits the small of your back or the front of a stack rather than a square scatter cushion, and the stripe gives it a settled, nautical feel.

A rectangular cushion of this size earns its place at the front of a sofa arrangement, where its lower profile lets taller square cushions show behind it. The coastal stripe and the embroidered boats make it an easy fit for a relaxed living room, a window seat or a bedroom bench, and the mainly navy palette with its cream and blue lines settles happily against pale linen upholstery and natural wood. If you are building a layered look, it pairs with plainer striped cushions in the same blue family and gives a room a quiet seaside note without shouting for attention.

The face is yarn-dyed, which means the stripe is woven from coloured yarns rather than printed on top, so the pattern goes right through the cloth and holds its colour with use. The sailboats are embroidered, giving a little surface texture and dimension you can feel. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover slips off easily when you want to freshen it. It sits within the wider Abersoch Regatta range, which carries the same nautical theme across a set of coordinating cushions.

What shape and size is this cushion?

It is a rectangular bolster measuring 30 x 50cm, a long low shape that works well at the front of a layered cushion arrangement.

How is the sailboat design made?

The three sailboats are embroidered, so they stand slightly proud of the surface with real stitched texture rather than being printed onto the fabric.

What does yarn-dyed mean for this cushion?

Yarn-dyed means the stripe is woven from coloured yarns rather than printed on afterwards, so the colour runs right through the cloth and stays true with use.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge so you can remove the cover easily when you want to freshen it up.
