Pink Stripe Mistletoe with Ribbon: a throw pillow that carries stripes in pink, hooked in wool. The wool is pulled through a backing until the design stands up off the surface in dense loops.
Swap it onto the sofa when the tree goes up. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
Sprigs of mistletoe heavy with red berries hang from a bow of red velvet on a pink and cream striped ground, the motif open and uncrowded. Set it at the end of a sofa where a plainer green would disappear.

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. Makes a good gift for the family that unpacks the same decorations every December.
