This morning I was invited along to Etsy House (see previous blog post for details), to preview their pop-up shop featuring some of their talented designers which is running all weekend.
Wool & The Gang are one of the businesses running workshops throughout #EtsyHouse and you can even get your own personalised bobble hat while you’re there! I chose this dark green 100% Peruvian wool hat with a white bobble and test drove it on the way home. Having a natural woolen hat means that it can breathe and you don’t get an awful sweaty head or static hair! What do you think? (Please ignore my exhausted look – toddler not sleeping!)
Wool & The Gang are a brand that I’ve seen quite a bit of this year, but didn’t really know too much about. But today I found out that they champion sustainable fashion that brings back knitting as a viable means of production – and this makes them special.
Not only are the Wool & The Gang items handmade, but they also sell kits so you can craft your own! If you can’t make it to Covent Garden this weekend then take a look at some of their lovely gifts that you can buy online either through EtsyUK or directly through their site:
