Description
This is a rectangular cushion, 30 x 50cm, with a design that puts three tufted highland cows in a vertical row down a natural oatmeal-flecked front. The cows are worked in a looped, curly rust-brown yarn that stands proud of the cloth, so the pile reads as texture you can feel rather than a flat print, and small embroidered tufts of grass sit between them. The face is a linen and polyester mix and the reverse is a smooth ginger velvet, so the cushion carries two quite different surfaces depending on which way you turn it.
The long, narrow shape makes this a bolster-style cushion rather than a square, which suits the front edge of a sofa, the head of a bed, or an armchair where a full square would swamp the seat. The country subject and the warm palette sit happily with wool throws, linen upholstery and natural jute underfoot, and the ginger velvet reverse gives you a plain, richly coloured side to layer against busier patterns. It works as the one textured, characterful piece among plainer cushions rather than as a repeated set.
The front combines flat-woven ground cloth with the raised tufted cows, and the whole cushion is finished with a striped piped trim around the edge and a zip closure along one side. The zip means the cover comes off the pad in one movement, which is what you want when a cover needs freshening. Both faces are a polyester-rich construction, with linen bringing a little natural slub and texture to the front. Turn it velvet-side out for a calmer look or cow-side out when you want the pattern to lead.

Frequently Asked
What size is this cushion and what shape?
It measures 30 x 50cm, so it is a long rectangular bolster shape rather than a square, ideal for the front of a sofa or the head of a bed.
Is the cover removable?
Yes. There is a zip along one side, so the cover slides off the pad in one movement whenever you want to freshen it up.
What does the front feel like?
The highland cows are worked in a looped, tufted yarn that stands proud of the cloth, so the design has a raised, textured surface you can feel, set against a flatter woven ground.
What is the reverse like?
The back is a smooth ginger velvet, giving you a plain, richly coloured side to turn outward when you want a calmer look against patterned cushions.
What is around the edge?
The cushion is finished with a striped piped trim that runs around the whole edge, picking up the warm tones of the tufted design.
