Darling Sheep-Free Sweaters

The harsh winter chill is on its way, or in many places, very much here. Once the temperature drops under 60 degrees I become frozen and don’t thaw out until spring. During these cold months I credit my artificial warmth to sweaters… and lots of em. However its pretty hard to find sweaters that don’t have wool creeping around in them. Wool is not considered a vegan product because of many inhumane practices within the sheering industry. Luckily there are many great alternatives to wool that include cotton, polyester, and even bamboo. These materials are just as warm and not as itchy as their tortured counterparts.

Here are some lovely finds sans the sheep butt.

Starting in October and ending in May my body temperature drops to a freezing level and I can only be saved by scorching hot showers and big cozy sweaters. I’m talking big-clunky-wraparound-throw-over-anything-made-by-eskimos sweaters. Unfortunately these sweaters are typically made of wool and I have had an awful time finding such sweaters in the past few years since I have made the choice to go vegan. But alas, I have found a big warm sweater made from cotton, and not just any cotton, organic cotton! Its warm and its soft and it makes my soul smile.

Check out The Graduate Sweater made by ID Organics. Each sweater is made fairly, by hand, and aparently just for me.
