Who can argue with a pillow that is beautiful and recycled, not to mention handmade? It’s tough to do, isn’t it? This gorgeous graphic octagonal pattern would be a striking addition to your decor. It is made completely from recycled wool sweaters washed and dried until the texture feels like super-soft felt. The fabric is then hand-cut and sewn together to create a unique tile pattern in a modern color scheme of white, yellow and gray. The pillow the perfect size to accent your bedding, chair or sofa at 18″ x 18″. It doesn’t come with a pillow insert, but that can be seen as a positive: it gives you an opportunity to give an existing pillow new life and avoid the production of a new pillow insert. And I’m sure your old throw pillows would appreciate having a new look as gorgeous as this one.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of recycled wool sweaters
- Handmade
Price: $65

Hi there Jennae
I like the pillow – My auntie makes patch-work quilts for people; sometimes even sells a few!
It’s quite interesting where I work, as there are a few people who come in to get granite off-cuts to use in mosaic art… I know lol, having granite on a pilow wouldn’t be the best idea, but hey the artwork is similar – anyway, love the pillow and so does m’ missus
Ciao
