Want to donate your scraps to me, to turn into beautiful new yarns? Yes please!
We all need to be a little more conscious about the materials we are using and the waste that we produce from our work. I am really passionate about being an eco-conscious business and turning my "waste" into something beautiful has helped me further achieve that.
Now I'm ready to take that a step further and give you an alternative to throwing away something that can be re-used and it's going to come with a pretty amazing perk! To thank you for your donation of fibre scraps, I'd love to give you 20% off your next order. All you have to do is donate a minimum of 200g of useable scraps. So what are useable scraps? Any yarn, roving or fibre that I am able to use to create new yarn.
What I can use: Trimmings that are 2cm or longer in length; Any colour, any fibre; Roving, yarn or rope; Sewing or embroidery threads
What I can't use: Trimmings that are less than 2cm in length; Braided cord or rope; Felted yarn; Knotted yarn

Please fill out your details and let me know if you'd like to send me your scraps. I'd love a small description of what you have and how much you have. If I think I can use them, I'll let you know the address you can send them to.
New Life Yarns
One-of-a-kind handspun yarns, thoughtfully made with yarn and roving trimmings that I have collected or that have been donated to me by other fibre artists, which have been saved from going into landfill.
