Purple Dyed Cheviot Sheep Fleece Wool Cushion

I have made some Cheviot fleece pieces and thought I would see how well it held dye. Cheviot fleece is lovely and soft and because it doesn’t have a very long staple length, it is ideal for fleece cushions.  I knitted a back to the fleece in purple chunky wool, the cushion has an envelope neck which is kept closed with popper. Inside is a polyester cushion pad.

The cushion could be used to provide a soft warm natural textured support, or as an ornamental enhancement to your existing décor.
