Artist Anna Mo opened a shop on Etsy called 'Ohhio' to sell things like her thick knit wool cat beds and chunky blankets when she decided she wanted her work to be more hands on. Previously a digital designer, she needed her everyday work to truly be produced by her hands, which luckily led to comfy, cozy beds for pets.
These chunky wool cat beds can be a warm haven for dogs as well. Made from merino wool, the final products are luxury beds for animals -- made from a material that even humans covet in their own clothing. The plush, colorful wool is woven together using over-sized wooden knitting needles.
A great Christmas gift for any pet, these beds will make cat and dog owners want to curl up next to their furry friends.
