UNWONTED Cushions

Regular price$185.00

The word "unwonted" is an old word for unusual or out of the ordinary. I've always liked this word--purportedly first used in the 16th century. The UNWONTED Cushions are indeed unusual, being woven and then felted in our studio, some simply styled and some with detailing, all lined in 100% cotton. I weave them in 100% alpaca or 50/50
alpaca and merino wool making for a very soft fabric.
