About the Item
"Wool Sweater" Throw Blanket
by Fabric Artist Crispina Ffrench, USA
circa 1990
"Handmade Upcycled / Recycled Wool Sweaters into a Throw Blanket."
"In very good as found conditions, does not appear to ever have been used."
"Nice Fringe around the edge."
"The notion of transforming the commonplace into something rare is irresistible, whether you’re talking medieval magic or its modern-day equivalent. In the case of Crispina’s “upcycled textile alchemy,” it can take the form of old sweaters, washed and felted, morphing into colorful quilts that glow against the stark winter landscape. Or thick, lumpy potholder rugs made from scraps and begging to be walked on. Clothing crafted from other clothing. And Ragamuffins—eccentric little pieced-together creatures made of recycled wool sweaters that started it all, in 1987, when she was an art student in Boston."
