Cotton all the way through
The base cloth and the raised tufts are both 100% cotton, so the cover stays soft and breathable rather than synthetic to the touch.
The fabric
Tufted cotton
Raised cotton yarn on a cotton base: a pattern you see in the light and feel under your hand.
How the relief is built
Extra yarn is worked into the base cloth row by row to form the motif and left standing above the surface. The tufts are the same color as the ground, so the pattern shows as shadow when light falls across it.
Wash gently, never iron
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Once it is dry, fluff the tufts with your fingers. An iron would flatten the relief, which is the whole point of the cover.
Questions about this fabric
Is the insert included?
No. Covers are sold on their own so you can keep the inserts you already have.
Why is the pattern hard to see in some photos?
It is tone on tone. The relief shows when light falls across it, the way it does on a sofa by a window.
Can I iron it?
No. Heat and pressure flatten the tufts.
