Every now and then I come across a wool sweater that won’t shrink even in very hot water. This striped sweater was too nice not to use so I made hot pads from it. They have a layer of heat resistant batting and are backed with fabric from a repurposed wool coat.
See them in person at the Queen City Antique & Vintage Market.
Wool is fire resistant and self-extinguishing, so if accidentally caught on fire, the fire is likely to go out on its own. Unlike man-made materials, wool will not melt if caught on fire.
