Welcome to chicagowillie. I am building up stock at the moment so please look at my past sales and feedback for a view of my work and check back to see new blankets, shawls and mini purses. You can also visit my very new blog at CHICAGOWILLIE.BLOGSPOT.COM where I will talk about the process, offer some tutorials and hope to inspire you with some video of felting as both an ancient and modern art form. Please consider subscribing to the shop feed so you will be alerted when I post new items. You can do that down below in the sidebar on the right.
This is a small shop and it takes a bit of time to design and produce each of the blankets. I work with fine wool sweaters and give them new life (via wet felting) as soft and beautiful blankets and throws. My preference is for merino wool which has a lovely hand when it is felted and very comfortable against your skin. Lambswool is a close second and even softer. Please check back occasionally as I WILL be building up my stock.
The blankets make great wedding gifts, or keep one in the car and you'll be toasty before the heater kicks in! They're also great for traveling - enough of those static-generating airline blankets.
Thanks for stopping by.
