Description
The Abersoch Stripe cushion is a 50 x 50cm square made from 100% yarn-dyed cotton, worked in a coastal stripe of red and cream running vertically down a slubby indigo-blue ground. Yarn-dyed means the threads are coloured before they are woven rather than printed afterwards, so the stripes carry through the cloth and hold their tone through repeated use. Both faces are the same, so there is no right or wrong way to sit it on a sofa. A neat Oxford border frames the panel, giving the edge a flat, tailored finish rather than a plain seam.
This is a relaxed, nautical-leaning cushion that suits a living room sofa or the head of a bed. The blue-and-red stripe sits happily against natural linen upholstery, pale walls and wooden furniture, and it works as part of a mixed grouping just as well as on its own. If you are building a coastal look, it layers with plainer cushions and textured throws without competing with them, and the classic stripe keeps it grounded rather than themed.
The cover is cotton throughout, which is breathable and easy to live with, and it closes with a zip so you can take the cover off for cleaning when you need to. The Oxford border adds a defined frame around all four sides, a small piece of tailoring that lifts the cushion above a basic knife-edge cover. Cotton takes handling well and softens with use, so the cushion settles into a room rather than staying stiff. Style it with other pieces from the Abersoch Stripe range for a coordinated coastal feel, or let it bring a single hit of pattern to an otherwise plain seating scheme.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
Yes, it is double-sided with the same yarn-dyed stripe on both faces, so you can turn it over without any change in appearance.
What does yarn-dyed cotton mean for the colour?
The cotton threads are dyed before weaving rather than printed on the surface, so the stripe runs right through the cloth and keeps its colour well over time.
Can I remove the cover to clean it?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off for cleaning and refit it easily afterwards.
What is the Oxford border?
It is a flat fabric frame stitched around all four edges of the cushion, giving a tailored finish rather than a plain seam at the seam line.
What size is this cushion?
It measures 50 by 50 centimetres, a standard square that suits most sofas and beds and sits well grouped with other cushions.
