Knitting Cushion Kit – Moine

Moine Tartan Cushion

40cm x 40cm 

Designed by Scottish knit & crochet designer Carol Meldrum for TJFrog.

‘Carol loves a stitching challenge, mixing up techniques, taking the traditional giving it a twist, and generally making things.’  

These cushion designs sum up exactly what Carol loves to do.  Inspired by a traditional tartan Carol has used intarsia, stocking stitching and couching techniques along with the colourful palette of the TJFrog Shorelines & Strata wool to bring this wonderful collection together.

Each cushion in the range is named after one of the 4 main rocks which underlie the Sleat peninsula landscape where TJFrog lives on the Isle of Skye.

Moine metamorphic rocks can be seen in the South & the South West corner of Skye where TJFrog lives.  These colours are reminiscent of the landscape which overlay these rocks as the heather and bracken colours change with the onset of autumn.
