Vest to help hold in that core heat! Might work well for texture sensitive kiddos who don't want to touch wool. Size 2-6y, it's wider than it is long so will depend on the size of your kiddo. Item no. T7

Top 4 lessons learned from felting 30 used wool sweaters:

1. It's a lot of work for one person to search for used wool clothing and turn them into boiled wool, and you never know what size you'll get after felting is complete - some shrink 50% and some shrink 20%!

2. 100% wool isn't easy to find. You also can't tell just by the feel or look of the material - there are so many blends and synthetics pretending to be wool or cashmere! I read a thousand tags to find my stock.

3. Not all wool will felt. Even if it's 100% wool, some articles have been treated to remove the extraneous fibres that would bind during the felting process. You can wash it a million times, and it will look the same. Who knew??

4. Holes can appear after washing. Some holes will actually close up through the process, but I also found that holes got bigger, and sometimes appeared out of nowhere!

This green-bean cardigan is a felting fail! Washed 4 times in a hot cycle and tossed in the dryer, this fine merino fabric is not going anywhere. Long and slender fit, ready to become someone's fave mid-layer. Item no. F2

Felting fail! This pink v-neck is in great condition, but will not felt. It's a thin, soft merino that will take anything you throw at it. But just don't try to felt it, as this garment will never felt - priced lower as a result. Item no. F1

This one is for the adults! Great for a fireside holiday morning. If no one snaps this up I might keep it for myself! There are holes in the cuff, will not unravel as the fabric is felted, I will invisible mend them for you prior to delivery. Size M-L, fits a 165lb 5'8" woman quite loosely. Item no. A1.

Love this thin merino crew neck.. if only I were smaller I can imagine reaching for it as a staple midlayer. Size 7-10y. Item no. K10

Classic cozy blue v-neck, colour more true on zoom-out photos. Size 7-10y. Item no. K9

Fuzzy pink v-neck with visible meanding love! Super soft and cozy felted 100% cashmere. It had a hole about the size of a quarter that felted nicely ( will not ever unravel), but needed patching. Size 6-8y. Item no. K8

This turquoise knit has lots of lofty texture, it is likely a hand knit sweater (no tags). Size 4-5y. Item no. K7

SOLD! Cozy cardigan with pockets too! The felting process did leave the middle hem puckered / looser. Item no. K6

Sliding scale prices? Yup.
Sliding scale pricing offers a service or product with multiple price points. The goal is to make this clothing accessible to people with different levels of income, so that lack of financial resources need not be a barrier. Folks can chose the price point that best reflects their ability pay, based on their individual circumstances.

You can find three different prices listed on my inventory page.
The lowest amount covers my expenses, the middle amount pays me for my time, and the highest amount also offsets costs for a lower income individual.

I invite you to pay the lowest fee if paying more would cause you to be less secure in your ability to meet your basic food, health, housing or transport needs.​ If you never have any worry about meeting your basic needs, then please consider paying the highest price. If you're somewhere in the middle then the middle price might be for you. You choose your own price. Zero judgement. I'm happy with what you choose.

I am basing this largely on what The Wild Garden did with their sliding scale: http://www.thewildgarden.ca/sliding-scale-pricing.html
