Thoosa has been loving that fact that it’s national wool week (11 – 17 October 2010 www.campaignforwool.org). The project aims to promote the versatility and sustainability of this natural fibre with the intention of increasing demand, which has been declining recently. Heaps of high profile brands are supporting the cause, such as Jigsaw, Hobbs and Lyle & Scott. As part of the campaign, London has been overrun with sheep, be it the ones sprayed yellow and herded down Oxford street, as Selfridges did their part for the cause, or the ones that were allowed to graze for the day on the specially turfed gilded streets of Savile Row.
National wool week reminded us at Thoosa of our favourite online place to shop for comforting scrumptious knitwear. If you haven’t already, take a peek at Hush (www.hush-uk.com). Hush offers a fantastic range of loungewear, perfect for snuggling up in after a long run. The Big Sloppy Cardi seems like a winter essential, though, we admit, we covet pretty much the entire collection. Watch out wallets.
If you’re feeling slightly more creative and crafty check out www.folksy.com. This adorable website provides gorgeous gifts like a love heart scarf for your favourite person or even great inspiration if you’re looking for a new hobby and think you might give knitting a go.
