Our Holiday Chickadee throw pillow is hooked in wool. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Bird-lover decor that does not tip into novelty. One hooked piece among smoother covers gives a sofa physical variety no pattern can fake.
Companion piece to the cardinal, with a black capped chickadee turned on the branch against the same cream ground of pine, berries and blue green foliage. The gray and white body reads clean against the black cap and tail. Both square faces were drawn to sit together.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. Wool outlives the furniture it was bought for, which is the whole reason people keep it. Makes a good gift for anyone who keeps binoculars near the kitchen window.
