Piccadilly cushion

All the wonderful colours of Piccadilly, one of my favourite places in London.

A beautiful cushion cover worked in two colours producing a stunning woven effect. The combination of self-striping and solid yarns results in a very eye-catching design that will be pride of place anywhere, and the pompoms add a wonderful charm.
