House of Rowan cashmere baby blankets, upcycled from pure cashmere sweaters and made on the Coast of Maine…
My latest upcycled cashmere baby blanket, with rainbow stripes and needle felted butterflies. Happy Spring!


As you can see Gigi loves scarves. So one afternoon last week she and I decided to make an upcycled pillow from one of my vintage Vera scarfs. The pillow is a lovely large 22 x 22. I’ve been wanting to make a scarf pillow for quite a while and I followed this tutorial.
Gigi and I pawed through my vintage scarf collection:

…played a little peek-a-boo:

It was very easy; I sewed it within an hour. I backed it with a pale green linen envelope-style pocket. I wanted to leave the ladybug and Vera signature visible:

Gigi loves it!

I make these Eco-friendly woodland Owl & Acorn Upcycled Cashmere Baby Blankets, and I feature them on Etsy: House of Rowan. Pure cashmere wool is luxuriously soft — it is a real wonder of the world: a wink and nod to all you cashmere goats roaming the glades, and turlochs, and mountains and hills out there — thank you fellas for your glorious wool!
