JUDY ROSS TEXTILES LINES IT UP FOR SPRING 2012



































Provide is eagerly awaiting the arrival of these modern new designs from Judy Ross Textiles. We love her introduction of lines, both in straight and curved versions, not to mention the beautiful colour ways in yellow, blue and green – perfect for a fresh new look at home this spring.

The Judy Ross pillow collection pairs centuries-old chain stitch techniques with contemporary designs. Each piece is meticulously embroidered by hand using the finest 3-ply New Zealand wool. The wool is hand dyed, adding depth and nuance to the colour. Master artisans embroider fields of small, dense stitches that give the designs movement and texture. Some of the pillow styles incorporate rayon yarn used to impart lustrous highlights through. Judy Ross's pillows offer durability and a unique artistic sensibility that has gained her much attention throughout North America.
