Get Twice as Warm with Recycled Sweaters – now Scarfs

Friday, December 12th, 2008


Wicked long scarf made from felted discs cut from recycled boiled 100% wool sweaters. An added bonus: the electricity used to produce these scarves is sourced from 100% wind energy! It is skinny, but has a lot of length so you can wrap it around your neck several times and be warm and toasty! This shop sells cool arm warmers, too!
$28.00 at Gayeabandon’s Etsy Shop

 



Check out these winter-wonderland beauties! Created by artist, Hillary Law. Her high quality scarfs are unique, elegant and eco-friendly! Beautiful color palettes are combined from previously loved sweaters. FULL DISCLOSURE: Hilary used to live around the corner from me and I can vouch that her work is always top-notch quality!
$75.00 at Hilary Law Textile Design Etsy Shop

 



And don’t let the crazy name scare you away, baabaazuzu has some wonderful coats, purses, mittens, hats, and of course, scarfs for you to bundle up this winter. Created by Michigan artist, Sue Burns, another small business showing the world that you can look great while you save the planet.
$72.00 for scarfs and $38.00 for fingerless gloves at baabaaZuzu
