This gorgeous pillow cover from SAOL is knit with 100% merino wool in Ireland. Using the natural color of the wool highlights the beautifully complex Aran knit patterns, arranged in a lovely patchwork shape.
Aran knitting dates back generations and has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Ireland. The patterns included in this case are the diamond, cable, honeycomb and basket stitches, each evoking a different aspect of the Aran Islands where they originated.
The cables represent the ropes of fishermen, the diamonds the farmers' fields as seen from above, the honeycomb stitch is a symbol of bees' diligent work and their rewards, while the basket stitch represents fishermen's baskets and is a symbol of good luck and big catch.Five buttons close the pillow case in a lovely earth tone and make it easy to take on and off. This pillow cover is a great addition to accent any room in the house, whether you're using it as a piece on the sofa or the bed.
Measures 18in x 18in square. Hand wash only is recommended using a mild detergent. Lay flat to dry.

Beautiful!!
The Saol Irish Cushion cover is beautifully made and very soft and cozy. It is a welcome addition to my living room decor. The buttons add a lot to the overall charm of this pillow.
