Description: Pretty cushions and throws in three styles.
For the herringbone and basketweave designs, the pattern relies on the specific shading nature of the yarn, but for the triangles and diamond effect you are given advice on how to get round the shading to produce the effect and I would be inclined just to choose colours in a chunky tweed yarn which does not change shade.
