Felted patchwork Katwise inspired recycled sweatercoats - vastly different from others you might have seen. These are painstakingly for way better durability, warmth and better fit. The felting creates a completely different garment and also provides enough structure for machine embroidery and sparkling sequin work (most coats have this). Most of contain buttery-soft, luxurious recycled cashmere. Some are 100% cashmere, mixed with fleece for visual flare. This one DOES have wool - it's also one of my older, less fancy coats, so you get a bit of a price break. More about that .
This coat has a name: "Northern Lights"

If a coat is just over the top, I've got some lower-hanging fruit for you - check out my , or listings as I often make these from material left over from the coats. You can put together a pair of arm-warmers, leg-warmers and a hat for a little less than a coat, but still have a SUPER cute ensemble! I don't always have a complete set, but it's worth a look. 😊
They're not designed to be worn in a blizzard in heavy snow, but these do keep a person warm - much more so than non-felted coats. It's like wearing a warm HUG. If you're looking at other coats and just need a frame of reference for comparison before you decide, you can order a cheapie needle-felted sample .
