all leethal items are designed and handmade by Lee Meredith. everything you see here was made from all or mostly recycled materials (the only exception being the buttons). fabrics were once clothing or sheets, or were unwanted/leftover. most materials were found in thrift stores or other secondhand shops, waiting to be reclaimed and repurposed!
every item you see here is one of a kind, so there is only one of each item! once it's sold, you may never see another like it. grab it while you can!
your shipping cost is $3 per item for most things, free shipping on patches+buttons - read the side columns of each category for more details.
also check out the leethal etsy shop at leethal.etsy.com to see non-recycled knit items - lots of hats!
email leethal for custom order inquiries or other questions.

it's great if my ideas inspire you to create, but please don't try to sell things that look just like mine!

sunken sea treasure knit mitts kit
this delicious, chunky yarn started out as one strand of white wool, one strand of darker tan wool,
and a strand of light brown angora/wool blend, all recycled from thrifted sweaters,
which were then spun and plied together with changing colors of sewing thread.
the plied yarn was then dyed variegated shades of greens, blues, and golden yellows and browns.
100% wool, angora/lambswool/nylon blend, and sewing threads.

the exact fiber content is unknown, but it's suspected to be a wool blend.
