Hello world!

PictureOne of my newest weighted blankets in the shop! It is made from 100% recycled sheets and yarn.
It's been a hot minute since my last blog post! I thought I'd share what I've been working on in the past year. :)
I've been focusing on using 100% recycled and upcycled materials in my weighted blankets.  My new favorite place is the Goodwill bins for old bedsheets and fabric scraps. I'm always on the hunt for more places to find used bedsheets and deadstock fabric.
It's quite a bit of work to go from sourcing materials, to making fabric strips into yarn, and finally into a knitted finished piece. I love every bit of work that goes into it, but it is definitely a labor of love.
I have a few blankets listed in the Etsy shop and am working on getting a few more listed soon.  

​Hope you're all having a fantastic week!

    I opened Leo's Lovely Treasures in 2014 with a focus on creating heirloom quality knitwear.  Since then, I've grown into a knitwear designer focusing on using sustainable and recycled materials.
