New in the Susy Factory

Here is a new product: a handwoven alpaca and wool Tam. I have also woven many beautiful and warm hats some are fun and funky, others more refined. All super LOCAL, using yarn from nearby farms. I'll have lots of new goodies at

- Five Print Shirts Brightly patterned fabrics are blended into colorful women’s top to wear as a blouse or jacket, two pockets, button front closure and a vented hem come together in a colorful combination of no less that five cotton prints.

- Booties I found this pattern for infants. The tiny wool booties are made from warm handmade felt and stitched with cotton embroidery floss. Then realized I could be making…

-Super Warm Shoe & Boot Liners for Big People. I used fabric from Carol Schwartzott www.crayonboxdesigns.com, hand knit, handspun and fulled* New York State wool.
They turned out to be wonderfully comfortable and extremely warm. They work great under my oversized garden crocs. I am experimenting now with other hand made fabrics; felted alpaca from Ken Curry’s herd in Ransomville, NY and handwoven Romney-Merino from Heather Minto’s flock in Jamestown, RI. Trace your foot to make a pattern, send me the paper and custom boot liners will be yours.
See felted versus fulled. http://nonaknits.typepad.com/nonaknits/2006/01/fulling_vs_felt.html
