Wool Blanket Wrap/Poncho ~ Pink Oak ~ Xtra long *** some wear & tear ***
Handcrafted from and upcycled, retro, 100% wool blanket. Reloved into a gorgeous and versatile wrap / poncho.
Wear it tight around your neck like a scarf, or loosely as a wrap, over your shoulders like a poncho, you choose. Would look great with a brooch.
Naturally dyed with Liquid Amber & Oak leaves. Was originally a pink blanket and the pinkish tones are still visible.
This is a one of a kind piece of wearable art.
Freesize. I've made this one extra long.
***NOTE. This piece of wool is very well worn and there are holes showing in a couple of places due to wear and tear. They are not noticeable when the poncho is worn, but visible if you were to hold it upto the sunlight.

The garment will take on a life of it’s own as it naturally ages, just like us, adding to it’s own uniqueness and individuality (just like you).
Created from natural fibres, at the end of it’s life this garment can be added to your compost heap to naturally decompose & feed the soil (very unlike synthetic clothing filled with chemicals).
Botanical Printing / Natural dyeing / Ecoprinting is a slow process where fabric is dyed and printed using the natural tannins, color & prints of botanicals (plants, leaves, roots, bark, flowers, lichens etc). Much like our ancestors did for generations, clothing can be colored using nature’s abundance without the use of synthetic, toxic & dangerous chemicals. The colors are truely natural (found in my garden or foraged around my neighborhood, not out of packets), depicting the colors of my local surroundings & the ever changing seasons.
