Baby bear lovey

October 5, 2010June 29, 2018thegreensheep 1 Comment

This baby bear is made from felted cashmere sweaters, green for his body, pale yellow for his trim.  I only wish I could introduce him to you in person; you have to feel this wool to believe how incredibly soft it is.  Do you know a little boy who would like such a comforting friend?

(Most bear lovies are 16″ tall, 12″ wide)

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.
