Purple Sweater + Boiled Wool Up-CycleD Jacket - Misses XL

 

This one-of-a-kind piece is all about texture, color, and artistry. I started with rich teal boiled wool—originally a wool jersey—blending it seamlessly with two repurposed purple sweaters for a cozy yet striking contrast. Strips of the boiled wool create a dynamic design, further enhanced with couched yarn for added depth and dimension. And let’s talk about those buttons—layered accents featuring luminous abalone buttons run vertically, drawing the eye and adding a polished, handcrafted touch. A perfect mix of warmth, creativity, and upcycled beauty!
