"Elevation" Rainbow pixie felted cashmere/wool/fleece Katwise-inspired sequin sweatercoat-2573

Felted patchwork Katwise inspired recycled sweatercoats - vastly different from others you might have seen. These are painstakingly machine-needle-felted 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). This one is extra-fine merino wool/cashmere, which has been made softer by the needle-felting process. These coats take about ~30+ hours to make.

This one is part of my newer "pixie bottom" coat designs - even the "skirt" section is felted for supreme durability. Also hidden inside the hood brim are 4 felted layers.. so instead of 2-ply cashmere, think 8-ply... which I felted the heck out of to super-compress them, so the hood brim has a lot more structure than my earlier works, but without adding too much bulk. The result is a hood that has a better "hang" and holds a shape better when worn up over the head. Also, even the skirt pieces on this one have loads of ✨sparkling sequins. ✨

If a coat is just over the top, I've got some lower-hanging fruit for you - check out my arm warmer, leg-warmer or hat 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. 😊
