The Holiday Ice Skates throw pillow showcases hooked wool texture. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
A textured accent for a room that has gone too smooth. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
A pair of white ice skates hangs at the center of a deep red ground, laces trailing loose and blades in pale blue, with sprigs of green and a few berries filling the top corners. The red is deep enough to sit alongside traditional decorating without fighting it.

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. Christmas designs are produced in limited runs each year, and wool is one of the few materials that outlasts the season it was bought for. Worth buying for a Christmas host, a newlywed couple, or a family collection that grows every year, or for your own house.
