recycled sweater pillows!

A great way to recycle old wool sweaters and just in time to clean out your closet for back-to school shopping! 


Recycle Knits by Vickie Howell

"Walk into any Goodwill, Salvation Army or local hospital secondhand shop, and you’d be hard-pressed not to come across oodles of neglected wool knits. Thanks to a process called felting, those woven cast-offs can now be transformed into scarves, blankets, bags or cozy cushions. So dig out your old oversized sweaters from the ‘80s, organize a few sewing supplies, and get ready to make a throw pillow (or three) that will have your eco-friends green with envy!"
