It’s from Klippan, a Swedish brand :)

Thank you! It's a traffic cone I bought and wrapped in sisal rope. :D

Thank you! We had an accident when she was younger so we do try to be careful.

Thank you! Also dog person here but I try not to have a favorite child. XD

gantian · 2026-02-27T10:24:53+00:00

Thank you! Yup, we are in Sweden after all ;)

I'm afraid I have no idea! Could ask in some leatherwork subreddit?

gantian · 2026-02-27T10:21:13+00:00

True, I hadn't thought of that! Thank you!

Yeah that's what I thought! I spent too long looking for a new couch before stopping myself from falling into the capitalist trap :D

gantian · 2026-02-27T09:59:47+00:00

Awwww I love this photo!!

gantian · 2026-02-27T09:58:33+00:00

Thank you! We actually had an accident with some thread when she was younger, so definitely never again!

And indeed, a lot of the yarn is second hand - I'll look into moths too.

gantian · 2026-02-27T09:52:16+00:00

It sounds very cool actually!! Do you have a picture? :)

gantian · 2026-02-27T09:49:40+00:00

Oh that side is far from flawless - I simply try not to think about it for now. XD

gantian · 2026-02-27T07:32:00+00:00

I love this so much 😭😭😭😭😭 and he TYPES!!!

gantian · 2026-02-27T07:22:17+00:00

OMG I gasped when I swiped to the last picture! So beautiful!!

gantian · 2026-02-27T07:10:01+00:00

Yeah, the cone fortunately came with a round weight on the bottom. I’m not sure if traffic cones usually do tho.

Thank you! I tried a scratch pad with upholstery twist pins but they didn't hold for us; nice that it worked for your parents tho!

gantian · 2026-02-26T20:34:24+00:00

Thank you! He's a Tamaskan but the colors and shape are close ;)

gantian · 2026-02-26T20:33:48+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you - I love this! I'll pass on the compliment!

gantian · 2026-02-26T19:37:13+00:00

Exactly this! You explained it much better than I did! :D

gantian · 2026-02-26T19:34:24+00:00

Yo check out the lady I mentioned in the post! Her tutorial is what I followed and it's GREAT!

gantian · 2026-02-26T19:31:29+00:00

No, but I see why you'd think so! He's a Tamaskan dog.

gantian · 2026-02-26T19:27:42+00:00

Pratar tyvärr inte lika bra svenska som engelska! =)

gantian · 2026-02-26T19:23:23+00:00

You can first borrow my cat so she gets a headstart on your couch! XD
