Here’s an entirely new way to approach an old or worn out midcentury classic: pay someone to knit a custom cover for it. If your piece is damaged or faded from the sun, Sinje Ollen can make custom ‘clothes’ tailored to the environment the piece lives in. Hand-painted yarns ensure a unique color scheme for your classic, and if you’re not sure about what color is best, an in home consultation is available for an additional fee. If you’re sharp, you’ll have picked up on the word clues ‘custom’ and ‘hand-painted’, so you’ll not be too shocked at the pricing.
Designs are all one-of-a-kinds.
