About Us

Because we love them...

They bring joy to every situation. They bring friends and community. They remind you to take a break from your busy days. And they end up shaping your life in ways you would have never thought possible. 

Our dogs are just as much a part of our lives as everything else is. From the day we are lucky enough to welcome them into our lives to the unimaginable day that they must move on, every day is precious. So while we get to be with them, we should cherish every moment. 

Woollees was born because our relationships with our dogs are a gift, and we should celebrate it. Our dogs are an extension of who we are. And how they show up in our lives should look just as beautiful as that relationship feels.  

 

Our Sweaters

It all started one freezing Boston winter when I couldn’t find a dog sweater that fit my dog Penny. It was 20 degrees out and everything I could find was made of cheap acrylic yarn, looked unattractive, and fit poorly on her unusually shaped body. Out of frustration, I decided to make her a sweater.

Of course, Penny deserved the best which meant, for starters, I was going to use wool. I also wanted the design to be classic and versatile for any occasion. She could be out for a stroll in the city, for a hike, or at dinner somewhere. It wouldn't draw attention - other than the fact she was adorable.

Penny's sweater is the inspiration AND the standard for how each of our dog sweaters are made. Our sweaters are designed and individually hand loomed in our small design studio. Each sweater is thoughtfully considered from the yarn we source down to the last stitch in order to provide the best product for your dog. 

We hope that you and your dog will love the sweater as much Penny loved hers.
