These simple yet effective blankets and cushion are brought to life by the yarn and shades. The blankets are made in Special XL Tweed which has nepps for added texture and detail. The cushion is made in Special Chunky and is simply constructed by folding, sewing and adding buttons of your choice. We just love the soft tone of Mushroom for the plain blanket and the striped blanket has a 60s feel with its retro tones.
