Meet Jen Ellis & Her Vermont Swittens

Jen is our neighbor and a second-grade teacher in Essex Junction, VT. She and a partner began making Vermont Swittens years ago to sell locally. Each one is unique as they are made from retired wool sweaters, they are finished with a warm fleece lining made from recycled plastic (similar to the stuffing in our Bears!).
