At the end of a long day, there’s nothing so relaxing as soaking in a deep bath, with candles softly lighting the room and gentle aromas of jasmine and rosemary scenting the air. 


Make the picture complete with a beautifully textured spa pillow to rest your head on while you are relaxing, then use the bath mitt to gently cleanse and massage your skin. 


The Malvern Spa Pillow & Mitt can also be made with a scented herbal insert for a herbal pillow or scented massage mitt.

NB: A pattern for a co-ordinating bathmat, the Malvern Bathmat, is available separately.
