Designing has looked a lot different this past year as my focus has shifted into a passion for acquiring and repurposing natural fibers. It has always been important to me what we put in our bodies and now it’s just as important what we put ON them to me.
A few fun facts about boiled wool:
💪🏼 It is DURABLE, good for rough and tumble play. Able to stretch, hard to tear, making it last for a long time.
☔️ It is water resistant, able to keep you dry even if it comes in contact with the water. (A little more to the science there but I won’t nerd too hard…yet)
🔥 It is a powerhouse of an insulator, keeping you toasty. Important here in chilly CNY. 🥶
🌬️ It is breathable, a complete opposite to the suffocating polyester we find in almost every article of clothing now.
Perhaps I’ll share more about this journey as it unfolds but for now- here are my first two pieces made from boiled wool scraps. A feat in itself to turn scraps into a wearable garment 😵💫, these cuties are far from perfect, but are completely designed by me, even the pattern. 🥰
