The yarns are all from Texere; the orange is Fine Worsted in Orange 196 (Pure Wool), the brown is Islay in Chocolate (90% wool, 10% nylon and the white is Jura in Silver (again 90% wool, 10% nylon). I've thrown in a random stripe just to keep me on my toes!

More cushions!
Following on from the last cushion, I had some warp left on the loom to use up and decided to try to do something hat has a retro feel to it. I thought that I would use white and orange to complement the chocolate brown, white and gold in the warp and wanted to make a staggered geometric pattern. Because of the scale of the warp, I found that a stitched hopsack has given me the effect that I was looking for.
