Black and White Heritage Cushion – SOLD

Description

SUSTAINABLE               BIODEGRADABLE               MADE IN DORSET

Indulge in a piece of home décor that is as conscious and sustainable as it is luxurious. My heritage cushion is created in Dorset on a 50 year old Ashford spinning wheel and 100+ London school of weaving loom from Dorset sheep.  This is woven as a black (Zwartble sheep) and white (Portland sheep) twill pattern with a naturally dyed pink stripe in Portland yarn.

The cushion has a reused cotton back and the removable filler is a wool filled pad.

Included is free gift wrapping (request at checkout) and UK delivery.  Each piece arrives with details of its production and cleaning instructions.

• Size: 20″ x 15″ (50cm x 38cm)
• Ready to ship
• Hand spun and woven in British Zwartble and Portland wool
• The perfect gift for a special person or a little self love
• A slow made piece of heritage craft that will carry on giving year upon year.
• I can create similar cushions as a commission, but like all slow fashion it will take time.
• Removable cover which can be washed on a wool cycle in the washing machine.

 

✨ Key Features

• British Wool: The cushion, from the front cover to the plump filling, is made from high-quality, traceable British wool, with reused cotton back and cushion filler cover.
• Naturally Dyed: The yarn is coloured using techniques first used in the Bronze age, resulting in an environmentally friendly pink feature.
• Handmade: Each cover front is individually handwoven on a loom, giving it a unique texture and robust quality, using hand spun Dorset wool.
• Wool-Filled: Say goodbye to synthetic fillings. My cushions are plumped with pure wool stuffing, offering superior bounce, breathability, and natural resistance to dust mites.
• The Perfect Accent: The rich texture and muted, natural hues instantly add an element of rustic sophistication and luxury to any sofa, armchair, or bed.

 

🌍 A Commitment to Sustainability

Choosing this cushion means investing in a healthier planet and a stronger local economy:

1. Biodegradable & Renewable: Wool is a completely natural, renewable resource, and the use of natural dyes ensures zero harmful chemicals enter our waterways.
2. Low Carbon Footprint: By sourcing and processing the wool within Dorset, I significantly reduce the product’s carbon footprint.
3. Lasting Quality: Handwoven from durable wool, this cushion is built to last for generations, resisting the fast-fashion cycle of home goods.

🏡 Styling Suggestion

The naturally derived colours and tactile, handwoven texture make this cushion an ideal focal point. Pair it with linen, wood, or leather for a sophisticated, rustic-modern aesthetic. Add some cosy comfort to your home.
