thrift store sweaters provide some of the raw materials that will become hats and other things at Cimarrona
One thing that I do this time of the year is make my rounds to some thrift stores in our area. I look for wool and wool blends with great color, pattern and texture. These get washed and dried and shrunk (or felted) and then taken apart. What the sweater becomes will depend on the weight and texture of the wool after this cleaning. These are a handful of sweaters that I picked up this fall.
