A tufted pillow in New Zealand wool and cotton, browns and greys with blue running through, the kind of texture you notice with a hand before the eye.

Eighteen inches square, worked in raised rows and sold with a soft polyester insert. The palette is quiet enough to sit beside almost anything already on the sofa.

For the friend redoing a den, the housewarming where nobody knows the color scheme yet, or a Christmas gift for a house that leans neutral. Or for you, for the corner of the sofa.
