Recycled cashmere heart door hanger wall decor -- ivory, French blue, periwinkle

Description

If anyone ever invents a computer monitor that allows you to touch the item in the picture, I would sell a million of these hearts. I wish you could feel what it's like to run your fingers through hundreds of strips of 100% cashmere. It's heaven on earth. Trust me.

This very cool and different door hanger is completely recycled except for the thread used to sew it together! The little cashmere strips came from thrift shop cashmere sweaters that I've washed and dried to bring out the most in the fiber. The base fabric is a wool plaid taken from a recycled skirt. The strips are inserted one by one by one. It's time-consuming, but the effect is really amazing. Nuances of color, texture, and softness.

The heart is stuffed with offcuts from cashmere, wool, and other projects that fill my dining room. Just ask my husband. My house is a "scrappy" place.

I envision this hanging on the bedroom door of a treasured daughter or niece. I can see it on a coat rack or hanging from a curtain rod. It would be fabulous on a chair or bed.

The colors are ivory and cream with shades of blue ranging from Carolina blue to French blue to periwinkle to baby blue.

The heart measures 5 inches wide and 4 1/2 inches tall. The photo with the playing card gives you a sense of scale. Perfect size for a small space.

It is not intended for children under age 3 unless it's kept out of reach. The small strips are inserted in and out of the wool but are not sewn in. They present a choking hazard.
