WOOLN is embracing the handmade look with items knit by grandmas.
The “knit by grandma” thing seems a little gimmicky (do they really only accept female knitters? With grandbabies? Doesn’t look like it.) but the designs are lovely and cozy. Plus, their wools are lush – alpaca + cashmere, yes please.
The price point is high, but hopefully that means they’re paying the grannies a good wage. And I’m really into the slow-fashion aspect of it. A beanie as an investment piece!
WOOLN strives to act for the benefit of society at large: we welcome retirees back into the active workforce, value forgotten talents, and foster intergenerational exchanges.
We also promote a new way of shopping, making the act of buying a more personal and considered experience.

Gansey, guernsey, jersey. What on earth am I talking about? A sweater, of course. You know the sort I’m talking about. A deliciously cabled, blue sweater, perfect for cold days. You might call it an aran sweater, or a jumper. You almost certainly do not call it a ‘knit frock’ like old books do. Whatever […]
