Interlock Trim? WHAT? Why?

 So, you may ask, "What is the deal with your pricing these days???" Yes, it may seem confusing...some of my covers are our regular prices, but others have a big price increase.

Well, the answer to that, is one word...INTERLOCK!


Right now, upcycled fluff is becoming easier to find, and the sellers are numerous! Cheap fluff...but is it still good? What about those that love the wool interlock option, but can't afford the mainstream companies that make interlock covers?
Right now, I can still honestly say my "One true love" is upcycled, but I have noticed a trend with upcycled trim...it is hard to get waistbands, and even thigh bands, to be stretchy but not get slack with frequent use. The beauty of combining both upcycled wool and interlock trim, is the best of BOTH worlds!

Amidst these "pros" is of course a "con"....the price. Interlock is sold by the yardage at high-dollar, and then requires prepping and very often dying. The prices of the covers will be effected, there is just no way to avoid that...but it STILL is a much more affordable option vs. the all-interlock covers that are out there in WAHM and mainstream world right now, and that is why I am so pleased to offer this option.




What about those who don't really care for interlock, are on a budget, but still want the adjustability in the trim? Well, my answer is....MERINO! Ribbed Merino is wonderfully soft, and adjustable, and holds its shape beautifully through frequent use. These covers are 100% upcycled, and that fact will be reflected in the budget-friendly pricing

I hope this explains things a little better, and can help you understand the pricing in my shops, both Etsy, and Kings of the Castle
