Hobonichi Cover Moomin: My Yard - Pink Grey (A5)
The Hobonichi Cover Moomin: My Yard (A5) depicts a scene from "Moominpappa at Sea": Moominmamma, sleeping in the garden she has painted on the wall herself – one of the quiet, poetic moments from Tove Jansson's book series. The cover is made of soft cotton fabric in muted pink-grey, embroidered with vibrant purple thread. It fits all A5 Hobonichi Techo books (Cousin format) and is available separately – without an inner book.
Features
- Cotton fabric in pink-grey: The muted rose tone creates a calm, understated look in everyday use; the embroidery in vibrant purple provides a warm contrast accent without disrupting the overall mood.
- High-quality embroidery: The "My Yard" motif is stitched directly into the fabric – no printing, no laminate. This means: the illustration is woven into the material, robust against daily wear and develops a soft patina over time.
- 180° flat-opening: Hobonichi covers are designed to lie completely flat when writing. This gives both hands room to move and makes the book particularly pleasant to use with a fountain pen or brush pen.
- Inner pockets and pen holder: Typical for Hobonichi A5 covers: side slip pockets for cards, notes or passepartout pages, plus a pen holder for standard writing instruments up to approximately 13.5 mm in diameter.
- Compatible with A5 Cousin books: Fits all A5 Hobonichi Techo inner books (Cousin format) – yearly planner, Avec, Day-Free and the Hobonichi Graph Notebook in A5.
Use & Tips
- Fountain pens and brush pens: Those writing in the Techo with a fountain pen or brush pen benefit from the flat opening – both book pages lie flat on the table without effort, no tilting at the edges.
- Breaking in the pen holder: The pen holder is slightly snug when new. Rolling your favourite pen in and out a few times will loosen it after a short while.
- Pairing with Graph Notebook: The A5 Hobonichi Graph Notebook also fits this cover – handy if you switch your Techo seasonally or thematically while keeping the design throughout the year.
- Caring for the cotton fabric: Cotton covers don't like permanently damp conditions. Store in a dry place and avoid direct contact with wet surfaces to prevent colour transfer to other materials.
- Combine with Moomin stationery: Hobonichi offers complementary accessories for the My Yard series – sticky notes, stickers and pencil underlays – for a coordinated Techo setup.
For Techo Enthusiasts
Embroidered Hobonichi covers feel noticeably different to printed or laminated versions: the fabric lies soft and lightly textured in your hand, the stitching threads are tactilely raised. The cover thus occupies a character somewhere between a notebook and a textile object. The "My Yard" motif in pink-grey is one of the quieter, more grown-up colour schemes in the Moomin line – not playfully colourful, but illustrative and with a clear everyday character that works just as well in the office or during quiet café hours.
