Know before you buy
The cover is removable via a zipper, but the wool construction requires spot cleaning only. We recommend using a damp cloth with mild detergent to treat any spills or stains.
The handhooked wool provides a distinct, textured feel that is durable and decorative. While it is not as soft as a fleece or plush pillow, it is designed for comfort and long-lasting quality.
The back of the pillow is crafted from navy blue cotton velveteen, which provides a smooth, sophisticated contrast to the textured wool front.
Yes, the pillow arrives with a 100% polyester insert already inside. The zippered closure allows you to easily remove the insert if you ever need to replace it or clean the cover.
This pillow is designed for indoor use. The wool and cotton velveteen materials are best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, or sunrooms rather than exposed outdoor environments.
