Your Old Socks Deserve Reincarnation!

marvelousmelissa Apr 08, 2010 5 Comments

Duluthians are all about being green, but did you know that now you can even recycle your old wool socks?!

Don’t throw away your holey or mismatched winter socks, they can have a new life as darn!socks cat toys. Actually any heavyweight winter sock will do, they don’t have to be all wool. Just save the grungy white cotton athletic socks for the dog. And of course make sure they are clean!

You can drop off your holey or lonely single wooly socks at the Green Mercantile, 209 East Superior Street. Or call Melissa (728-0419) for other drop off or pickup options.

Both darn!socks and three blind mice cat toys are made in Duluth by Marvelous Melissa with help from feline assistants Aven and Itty Bitty.  Find them locally at the Green Mercantile, the Art Dock and Moxie Hollow.  And if you happen to be in Singapore at CatDao.com

What a great idea! And with spring here early, the timing is right, too.

I bought a set of the Three Blind Mice at Peasantworks a few years ago, and my cats freakin' loved them.

That's great, I'll be delivering some super deluxe alpaca wool socks which have outlived their useful sock life!

Hiya Melissa, love your stuff! Are you interested in any other fabrics like old wool sweaters or such?  I'm making garage sale piles, etc., and was collecting some stuff for you last night.
