To celebrate your ingenuity, and to help spark even more ideas as we countdown to Christmas, we’ve created a festive list of 24 creative ways to reuse your wool liners. Whether you’re a crafter, gardener, pet lover, or simply someone looking to live a little more sustainably this season, there’s something here for everyone.
