New Vegan Knitwear Site

A San Francisco-based knitter has opened a new online shop to sell her vegan clothing and accessories. While five-year-vegan Kristen Blackmore has been selling her goods on Etsy for several months, she debuted her recent collection on a new online storefront, Treewool. Her handmade garments include cream-colored crop tops, striped hats, and lightweight cowls, made from cruelty-free materials such as fair-trade cotton and natural linen. In addition to the web, Blackmore makes her knitwear available at veg fests throughout California. “One of my customers has said that the world needs this,” Blackmore says. “That was most affirming for me.”
