Did you dig her Family Cottage collection? Get ready to fall for Betz White’s new Indian Summer line of eco fabrics!

Fall is officially here! It’s cool and blustery, and we’ve got cozy fabrics on our minds. What better way to welcome in the lovely changing leaves and chilly weather than with some beautiful recycled felt? Feltwerker, a Chicago fiber artist, offers beautiful recycled wool felt scraps that you can incorporate into your Fall and winter projects!

I know, I know. A green crafting blog talking about hemp? What are the odds? There are some pretty solid reason for giving this wonderful material a chance, though!

Hemp is sustainable and durable. Not only that, it requires far fewer pesticides and water to grow than conventional fibers. Unlike most plants that sap nutrients from the soil, the mighty hemp plant actually nourishes the land where it’s planted! The fabric is strong, and lasts longer than traditional fabrics without stretching or wearing.
