Recycle Sweaters: Make a Throw or Pillow

January 11, 2013 by Linda Lanese

blank

I love this idea and wish that wool sweaters were more available; but have been grabbed up at the goodwill shops with the popularity of recycling.  During the summer hit all the garage sales for old moth eaten sweaters and don’t worry because the small holes will shrink up during felting. Old wool sweaters make great gifts when felted and pieced into throws and pillows.  Get over to “Better Homes and Gardens” for the complete instructions.  “Use it up, wear it out, and make it do, or do without.” By Boyd K. Packer
