Rambshe Velvet Linen Cushion - Natural

This is a square cushion with a tufted sheep design worked across a natural, flecked ground. Little sheep stand among small tufts of green grass, the bodies raised in a soft looped tuft that sits proud of the woven face while the heads and legs are embroidered flat. The face cloth is a polyester and linen blend, so it carries a touch of the slubby, natural look linen gives while the polyester content keeps it hard-wearing. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square size that most cushion inners are made to fit.

The cushion suits a country or farmhouse setting and works as an accent piece on a bed, an armchair or a sofa. The natural ground is quiet enough to sit against greens, creams and warm neutrals without competing, and the sheep motif gives it a gentle rural character that reads well in a bedroom or a snug living room. It pairs happily with plainer cushions and with softer greens, letting the tufted design do the talking.

The reverse is a plush velvet in a warm mushroom brown, so the cushion has two quite different faces to turn out depending on the mood you want. A striped piped trim runs the full edge, joining the two sides and giving the seam a neat, defined line. A zip closure along one edge lets you remove the inner for washing or replace it over time, and it keeps the fastening hidden once the cushion is plumped. Turn the tufted sheep to the front for character, or the velvet to the front for something calmer.

What size cushion inner do I need for this cover?

The cushion measures 45 x 45cm, which is the standard square size, so a 45cm inner is the one to look for. A slightly larger inner gives a fuller, plumper look if you prefer it.

Is the sheep design raised or printed?

The sheep bodies are worked in a soft looped tuft that stands proud of the woven face, while the heads, legs and grass are embroidered flat, giving the design real texture rather than a flat print.

What does the back of the cushion look like?

The reverse is a plush velvet in a warm mushroom brown, so you can turn either the tufted sheep face or the plain velvet face to the front depending on the look you want.

Can I take the cover off?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the inner cushion when you need to and the zip stays hidden once the cushion is plumped up.

What is the face fabric made of?

The front is a blend of 85% polyester and 15% linen, so it has a natural, slightly slubby linen look while the polyester content helps it stand up to everyday use.
