This pillow, which creates a real winter and Christmas feeling at home, I have made of exclusive needle felt from Filtmakeriet and of wool yarn and carded wool from Ullcentrum on Öland. The pillow is made of 100% Swedish sheep wool and the only thing that is not wool is the sewing thread that I have sewn the pillow together with.
The pillow is needle felted and what I have done is to cut out the different components of the motif and then I have felted them together with a felting needle. The bullfinches are needle felted with carded wool. The contours in the snow I have created by embroidering chain stitches with wool yarn. The snowflakes are also embroidered. Over a hundred "French knots" creates a quiet snowfall.
The pillow is about 50 x 50 cm and filled with pillow padding of 100% Swedish wool. The back is felted, light gray needle felt.

Care instructions
The wool is in itself dirt-repellent, ie. the dirt settles on the surface, and this is because the wool contains natural fats. Stains are usually good to remove with a damp cloth. Do this as soon as possible so that the stain does not have time to sink in.
It is possible to wash at 30 degrees (wool program) but there is a small risk that it shrinks a little the first time you wash it in a washing machine. Should be plant dried!
