Zero-Waste Wool Kitchen Accessories from the Pacific Northwest

We discovered the work of Heidi Leugers of Reclaimed Wool via Portland, Oregon’s Alder & Co., one of our favorite shops anywhere. Her kitchen accessories made from assorted end-bolt and discontinued fabrics from a “famous Pacific Northwest mill” manage to look fresh and vintage at the same time. Perfect for cabin life.

Above: Made in Portland of reclaimed wool, the Cool Tone Potholder is $18. “Wool? In the kitchen? Yes. Wool is naturally noncombustible and naturally insulating,” Leugers says. “Scandinavians have trusted wool’s performance in the kitchen for decades.”

Above: The pot holders come with leather tabs for hanging.

Above: A set of four Natural Wool Coasters is $29 from Alder & Co.
