Linen and Wool Throw Pillow Set of 2 – 20x20 or 24x16 Cushions

This is a pair rather than a single cushion, which changes how it gets used: two matching pillows read as deliberate symmetry on a sofa, or they can be split between two chairs. The two shapes behave differently. A 20 by 20 is a true square that sits upright against a sofa back; a 24 by 16 is a lumbar rectangle that lies down and supports the lower back rather than filling a corner.

Linen, wool and cotton in one cloth plays the three fibers against each other. Linen brings a crisp dry hand and the creases that come with it. Wool brings loft and springs back from compression. Cotton is the steady one, taking dye evenly and softening without much drama. Blended, the fabric wrinkles less than pure linen and pills less than pure wool.

A set of two suits a sofa where a single pillow looks stranded, one at each end or both stacked against a larger cushion. On a bed the lumbar pair sits in front of the sleeping pillows.
