I never cease to be amazed by the creativity of artists who use repurposed materials. Michigan's own Margaret Shaw is handpainting, then unraveling thrift shop sweaters to make original wool Art Socks for FOUND. Take a look for yourself:
We have a nice selection of these unique mismatched socks at the shop right now in medium and large sizes and a lovely palette of colors. Comfy & warm wool Art Socks. An eco-friendly gift idea!
This video was created by Kerrytown friend, Wendy Williams. Thanks Margaret and Wendy for showing us how this is done!
Cozy regards,
Mary
