This knife edged pillow is woven using yarn dyed yarns in shades ranging from Natural to brown. The weaving of these yarns creates not only a stripe pattern but a heathered look to the darker stripes. Hand crafted cotton yarned twisted tassels in a contrasting Sundance blue give this pillow a decidedly crafted appeal. Light brushing after weaving give this pillow a very soft surface feel and light pilling is to be expected with wear and is totally normal- a side affect of the brushing for the soft soft soft hand. the back of this pillow is a solid coordinating cotton with a hidden zipper for ease of fill.
