A hooked wool throw pillow: the Mallard design. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Sits well with plaid throws, antlers, and a wood stove. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
The duck stands in profile on a cream ground, its head green and chestnut, the bill red, the wing barred in blue and white. Nothing else crosses the square face, no border and no piping. One of the most detailed pieces in the range.

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. Wool is why pieces like this last: it resists crushing, holds its dye, and looks better used than new. Makes a good gift for anyone whose idea of home has a wood stove in it.
