handmade recycled t-shirt yarn wine bottle cozy holder

i found this little gem whilst bin-diving; it took some digging to learn its personal history, but i found it! it’s quite special & has travelled an incredible distance! here’s what i got: •gracy mae crochet (the name on the tag) is the eponymous small business whose owner, an australian crochetier/personal trainer/holistic health nut apparently named gracy mae, found some success as founder, owner, creative force, & supplier, judging from her very professional, pretty & tasteful online shop •gracy mae crochet pop-up shops were also hosted by similar local businesses at least twice! •she is very serious about sustainability & living ethically—much of her designs (including this one!) are made of t-shirt yarn, a fabric yarn made of the otherwise-landfill-bound offcuts from the textile & t-shirt manufacturing process; the 80-95% cotton jersey results in a yarn that is super soft, stretchy, endlessly versatile, & totally unique from skein to skein! •this wine bottle cozy holds a 1 litre bottle, making it the perfect size for water bottles too! so this cozy traveled from halfway around the world to get here! idk how it happened but here it is, brand new, tag still on it, never used! measurements in photos, it’s approximately 8½” high (or 17” including the strap) & it’s stretchy :) a beautiful & functional artisan piece w a feel-good backstory :)
