Earthly Arts: Made From Rescued Sweaters!

earthlyarts's Shop Announcement

Welcome to my shop!!! My business evolved from making sweaters for my son because wool sweaters are hard to find and I didn’t want to raise my child wearing polyester! I became enthralled with taking unwanted old wool sweaters and fashioning them into beautiful new pieces. As a lover of nature, I created a line of clothing for children that was natural, sustainable, and of heirloom quality.

The eco detergent I use for washing sweaters breaks down into actual plant nutrients for the garden, while the water reuse keeps me from wasting precious water. All products are washed, cut, and sewn by myself in Berkeley, California.

Please note that sweaters are sized on the large side, as many kids are large these days. I figure it is better to be too big than too small. Most sweaters are two-toned, and many are adorned with a bird, heart, dinosaur, or other animal. All are as varied and unique as the sweaters are. None could ever be replicated. However, I can try to custom make a sweater to your specs so feel free to ask. It depends on what sweaters I have on hand.

Most often the blankets are throw sized, or crib sized, but I can make custom blankets to any specs and color schemes. Just let me know. I usually back the blankets with new wool that I felt, but they can also be backed with cotton flannel.
