Warm & Wooly: Wool Felt Pillow Cover

August 17, 2008 · Print This Article

I have a newfound love for wool felt. Not the synthetic, acrylic stuff you’ll find at most craft or fabrics stores — the honest to goodness, straight from nature wool felt that is naturally antimicrobial. Combine that with a beautiful pattern and colors, and I’m sold.

This wool felt pillow cover from Shop Equita is gorgeous, and the hand cut pattern makes me want to scoop up a couple of them right now. I have the perfect place for them — my mother’s sofa. She loves all things red, and I think I’d have to agree with her in that case. The cover is additionally available in a couple of other colors schemes, so whether you’re more of a coffee and cream

type and not so much a firecracker, you can still get one that suits your taste.

Looking for something green to stuff it with? How about another throw pillow? Instead of putting it in a closet or a box when you decide to switch, use it inside that cover, and voila! You’ve made a green repurposing statement without breaking a sweat.

Why It’s Green:

  • Made of naturally-colored wool and natural mineral dyes
  • Handmade by Central Asian artisans with a faraway history of felt-making craftsmanship
  • Fair Trade & sweatshop-free

Price: $100
