Palomino Horse: a throw pillow that features a horse, hooked in wool. The loops catch the light differently from every angle, which is what gives hooked work its depth from across a room.
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.
A palomino head turns toward you on a pale blue ground, cream mane falling over a tan face, dark red bridle and silver bit worked in below. The square face gives the portrait room on every side. For a rider, or for anyone who used to be one.

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 takes years of handling and comes back looking like itself, which is why these get passed down rather than replaced. A wonderful gift for anyone whose idea of home has a wood stove in it.
