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 couch. She loves all things red, and I think I’d have to agree with her in this case. The cover is also available in a couple of other colors schemes, so if 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 this 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 long history of felt-making craftsmanship
- Fair Trade & sweatshop-free
Price: $100
