Little lamb lovies

October 5, 2010September 16, 2014thegreensheep Leave a comment

I have a new line of lovies for little ones, because every child should have something they long to snuggle with.  I choose only the softest wools for baby and children’s items — they are wonderful to touch.

Made from the palest pink cashmere sweater in my felted collection.

(About 15″ diameter)

Hello! I’m Joan Olson, designer and maker of The Green Sheep blankets, all made from repurposed and felted wool sweaters. Each design begins with a story, such as a mom’s love for her daughters (“Happy Winter”) or an empty-nester roadtrip through Colorado (“Garden of the Gods”). I haven’t ever considered a blanket finished until its story is written down. I am currently no longer selling blankets…but I can’t yet bring myself to shut down this blog.
