"Running Thru Colors" Purple magenta tie dye patchwork felted cashmere/wool/fleece hooded shawl capelet-2599

🥳 Ooooo new 2026 design! 🥳 Felted patchwork upcycled sweater outerwear. These are painstakingly machine-needle-felted for way better durability, warmth and better fit. The felting creates a completely different garment from a non-felted one. Most of my outerwear contain buttery-soft, luxurious recycled cashmere. Some are 100% cashmere. Mixed with fleece for visual flare. These take about ~15+ hours to make. I've had a lot of offline requests for "capes" and spent many brain cycles thinking how to make a large cape-like garment but from the many small pieces inherent in upcycling sweaters. These are turning out super cool so you'll probably start to see a lot more of these! 🥳 This one is part of my newer open poncho/shawl/cape designs with a smaller, lighter pixie-style hood for a flexible fit and excellent drape. Closure: One large black toggle-button (hood also has ties) More about my coats and outwear over HERE <-Also a great read even if you're just idea-shopping. 💖 This poncho has a name: "Running Through Colors". Thank you Phantogram for the lovely toon inspiration. 😍🎵🎶🎼💃🕺 If this 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 or other outerwear, but still have a SUPER cute ensemble! I don't always have a complete set, but it's worth a look. 😊 These are not designed to be worn in a blizzard in heavy snow, but they do keep a person warm - much more so than non-felted items. It's like wearing a warm HUG. If you're looking at other upcycled sweater items and just need a frame of reference for comparison before you decide, you can order a cheapie needle-felted sample HERE.
