Quacker Factory: Fun in the Snow

   My mom has been a little bit of a Quacker Factory fan for years but never actually had one in her wardrobe. So she was quite happy when she got her hands on this one.
  She even remembered seeing it on air on QVC years back and was one of her favorites. Don't ya love it what things like that?!

   This sweater is made of a cotton and the snowflakes are done with an Angora rabbit. (60% cotton/40% acrylic; trim 59% nylon/38% angora rabbit hair/3% lambs wool)

   When I first saw it I thought something was wrong with the snowflakes but it's suppose to be that way. I have a hat made with rabbit that is fuzzy as well. Using it like this is an interesting design. It looks like it came in at least three colors, red, pink, blue, and black, I personally like the black the most.


   I do not know what the original retail price on the sweater is but you can pick one up on E-bay for around $20-$30.

She likes this one...

   Quacker Factory is sold on QVC +QVC . The original creator of the company, Jeanne Bice died in 2011. This line had it's own look to it that other novelty sweaters did not. After the original designer's death the line has started losing the feel it had. Another reason my mom was so happy as it was from when Quacker Factory was making their best designs.
