Christmas at the Ranch, hooked in wool, made up as a throw pillow. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Adds texture and pattern to a plain sofa. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
Deep red ground, white lettering, a pair of green pine sprigs tucked at either side. Christmas at the Ranch is set in mixed script and block type, and the hooked loops give the letters a soft edge. For a house that means the ranch part literally, or wishes it did.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. Makes a good gift for a Christmas host, a newlywed couple, or a family collection that grows every year.
