Even if your garment is completely worn out when you're done with it, it can still be useful in another form.
An easy way to upcycle a wool garment is to felt it by washing it at a warmer temperature. A regular machine wash at 60 degrees will be enough to felt wool that is not Superwash treated. Wash with regular detergent and together with at least one other garment (optional material) for a good effect. Stretch and shape the garment while it is wet after washing. When it is dry, you can cut the garment freely since it does not unravel, and turn it into something new. You can find ideas for what you can make among our Upcycled garments for sale and inspiration.
Cotton fabric can be used, for example, for gift wrapping, rag rugs, crocheted baskets or be sewn into something else. Take the opportunity to think creatively and environmentally friendly!
Small remnants or garments that are no longer suitable for redesign can still be useful. Maybe they can be used to patch other garments? Or cut into small pieces and used as stuffing for pillows, pincushions or stuffed animals?
If the garment can still be used, consider options such as selling it, giving it away to someone you know or someone in need, or donating it to a local thrift store.
