Friendship Cushion Kits - Yarn, pillow form, and dye

Friendship Cushion Kits - pre-orders available now! 

When Aimee Sher mentioned this amazing project to us, we were so honored to have our pillow forms included! We love Aimee's work, and our natural wool pillow stuffing is perfect for this sweet, thoughtful pattern. 

Then we thought about what yarn to use for our own sample to showcase the pattern and our wool pillows, and immediately thought of this bouncy, chunky yarn from San Juan Wool Works! Luff is a 4 ply, aran/bulky weight yarn from their North Country Cheviot sheep on San Juan Island. This local yarn is ideal for cables, and super durable for a pillow cover, which is great if you're hard on your pillows like we are! 

But since Luff is only offered in natural colors...what if we included some Wool Tinctures from our dear friends at Abundant Earth Fiber? If you've never dyed yarn before, now is your chance - the instructions are SO simple to follow, and we've chosen 3 deep jewel tones which will go well with many decors. Just add the Wool Tincture packet to a glass jar with hot water, add the yarn, then add citric acid - it's that easy! (Full instructions included in the kit).

This kit will make a fantastic holiday project or a gift for a beloved crafty friend. Local wool, local yarn, from local farms - all in one beautiful, treasured project. 

How the pre-order works: We'll take pre-orders from now until early December, and begin shipping out November 27th. This helps us determine how much wool to process and covers to make - we do it all in-house here at our mill! If you order other items with the pre-order, all items will ship at the same time.

• Choose your color (Malbec, Forage, Midnight)
• 14x14" full retail price would be $90; pre-order price is $75!

How we make our wool pillows: We take clean, carded wool to make fluffy batts that are perfect for stuffing pillows. Our pillow covers are made in house using organic cotton, using an 'envelope' construction - no zipper required. Should you need to clean the pillow cover simply remove the stuffing and wash the cover as you would any other bedding. The wool stuffing can be re-fluffed, and aired out in the sun - no cleaning required! Wool is naturally antimicrobial, and resistant to dust mites; its breathability is ideal for pillows. Best of all - the entire pillow, from case to stuffing, is biodegradable. Choosing a locally produced and regionally grown wool product keeps the carbon footprint even lower, and supports small family farms.
