The Valley
Yarns Viola Plaid Pillow features the rich, vibrant colors of Southwick while
taking advantage of its cool, silky, cotton and bamboo fiber content. It’s an
accent pillow that’s just perfect for napping. The plaid effect is achieved
with stripes and simple surface crochet, while just a dash of duplicate stitch
creates optional yellow accents. Knit in Valley Yarns Southwick, a combination
of the softness of Pima cotton with the beauty and drape of bamboo fiber.
