MADE WITH HOMBYS

A Little Knot of Cozy by @saltydogstudio.fl

Soft blues, pale aqua, and white come together in a wonderfully plush knot pillow by @saltydogstudio.fl. The looping, interwoven shape gives this handmade piece its sculptural character, while variegated chunky chenille adds little changes of color across every curve.

The maker photographed the pillow in a woven basket and shared a relaxed at-home moment with a golden retriever resting alongside it. The photographs offer a close look at the fluffy texture and rounded knot construction.

The Maker’s Experience

In the original caption, @saltydogstudio.fl shared that she had used HOMBYS yarn for some time and was excited when the brand reached out to collaborate. She praised the yarn’s softness, fluffiness, cleanliness, and color selection, and reported no knots in the yarn while making this pillow.

That is the maker’s experience with this particular project. We love the way the cool blue palette and rounded form create a cozy handmade accent.

GET THE COLOR STORY

Blue, Sky Blue & White Variegated Chenille

For a coordinating look, explore HOMBYS Blue, Sky Blue & White variegated chunky chenille yarn. The color changes are within each strand; combining separate solid colors would create a different effect. The maker confirms HOMBYS yarn but does not identify an exact shade, so this is our visual product match.

Planning Your Supplies

The original post does not list the pillow’s dimensions, yarn quantity, or construction method. The linked 8-skein pack is a purchase option, not a confirmed project requirement. Confirm dimensions, stitch gauge, tube length, and any filling with the maker or your chosen pattern before estimating yarn usage.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE

How much yarn should I prepare?

Quantity status: needs the original pattern.

Shaped, stuffed, wrapped or multi-piece construction cannot be reliably converted from flat area. The original pattern must confirm dimensions, stitch density, piece count and yarn needed in each shade.

Yarn / color group Whole-skein planning budget
Blue,Sky Blue,White Variegated Pattern-specific quantity required

Use the original pattern’s yarn weight or yardage for each color, then divide by the yarn length / weight on the product label and round up. Do not assume an 8-skein pack will make every item in a group photo.

Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
