I make crocheted items all out of reclaimed, secondhand and occasionally new recycled yarn, as well as using old clothing etc to make fabric yarn. Everything comes packaged in reclaimed fabric and yarn, in reclaimed packaging with eco parcel tape, the labels are made from reclaimed fabric, and an eco-friendly stamp, and the tags are made from reused cardboard and stamp. I won’t post everything from my shop so here’s just a selection:
