    I'm passionate about reusing and repurposing. I am so excited about the new range made with repurposed yarn. Knits up like new but has a much lower carbon footprint. Headbands, Fingerless gloves, mini ponchos.

Frequently asked questions

What do you mean by repurposed yarn?

The items in my repurposed range have been made from yarn that was NOT bought new. So sourced from preloved stores, unfinished craft projects or from declutttering. Items are washed, unpicked and knitted up. The finished products look new, but have a much lower carbon footprint than new yarn.

I have a small head, will the headbands fit me?

The regular size fits most ladies, but if you know you need a small size for hats etc, I can offer a Petite ladies size. It is 2" shorter than the regular. This is also an excellent size for girls aged approximately 5-10 years.

Custom and personalised orders

Absolutely! I have made headbands in burgundy and orange to compliment a supermarket uniform. Also, a group of ladies going to Austrian for a holiday had a red and white Austrian flag design. Please message me and I would be please to do a custom order for you if I can.

Gift wrapping and packaging

How do you package the items? I use card postage boxes that are delivered by the postie through your letter box. I endeavour to keep internal packaging to a minimum to avoid waste.

So many colour choices, I can't decide which to go for! Can you help?

I would say the first question is do you want a neutral colour to blend in or a strong colour to stand out!

Also think about the coat you wear most often, and chose something that will match that.

I am very happy to have a conversation about colour choices in a message.
