5 Cozy "Must Have" Accessories for 2020 — Handmade from Re-Purposed Sweaters

Love Woolies has tapped into a pool of incredible talent that is found within the walls of American homes. Providing an income for families during a troubling time of unknowns and unexpected homeschooling, they have shifted what sustainable business and workplace culture means.

"We create products that remind women that they have the ability to create Joy from the flaws", says Marcella Hill, owner of Love Woolies. Love Woolies creates cozy accessories from damaged wool sweaters. They have saved over 30,000 sweaters over the past 11 years.

According to the EPA, over 11,000 tons of textiles were sent to U.S. landfills in 2017. Forbes.com recently reported, "The fashion & textiles industry is a major polluter of water at all stages of the value chain."

Curling up in cozy accessories this season doesn't have to be damaging to our environment. You can do your part and purchase re-purposed handmade products that keep you feeling joy from the inside out.

Love Woolies employs mothers to sew from their own home. These women work by sewing while spouting off spelling words and reminding children of their chores.

1. Wool Mittens. "You don't know warm hands until you wear wool mittens", Hill says. Each pair is unique, making your mittens the only pair in the world. Wool mittens are water resistant, allowing you to play in the snow and stay warm. An added bonus: they don't get cold if they're left in the car. Available in sizes for Men, Women, Kids and Babies.

2. Cashmere Scrunchies. Wool contains a natural property that does not absorb oils, which results in a scrunchie that does not crease or damage hair. The fibers cling to your hair, staying secure all day. Each Love Woolies scrunchie is named after a woman that has been nominated by a friend someone that is creating joy. Every order comes with a reminder card that "You have the ability to create joy despite the flaws in life".
