-- About My Up-Cycled Items --
✦ Sustainability:
Whenever possible, I incorporate upcycled materials into my work to reduce waste and give existing materials a second life. I cut discarded t-shirts into stripes, sew them together and then stretch them out to create durable yarn for many of my projects. This process is extensive but the results are so worth it!
-----
✦ Handmade with Care:
Each piece is made by hand, which means slight variations may occur, adding to the character and uniqueness of every item.
Crochet items are designed to be both beautiful and practical for everyday use. Made from soft yet durable 100% cotton yarn, and a minimalist look that pairs easily with any style. The structured crochet design helps the items hold their shape while remaining flexible enough for daily use.
-----
✦ Care Instructions:
Since these items are made using 100% cotton, you can easily spot-clean them. Spot cleaning t-shirt yarn is all about being gentle, targeted, and low-moisture so the stitches keep their shape.
1. Blot, don’t rub: Use a clean, dry cloth to gently blot the spot. Rubbing can stretch or fuzz the cotton fibers.
2. Mix a mild solution: Combine a few drops of gentle detergent (or baby shampoo) with cool water.
3. Dab lightly: Dip a cloth or cotton pad into the solution and dab just the stained area. Keep it localized. Don’t soak the whole piece.
4. Rinse the spot: Use a separate cloth with plain cool water to dab away any soap residue.
5. Press out moisture: Gently press with a dry towel. No wringing or twisting.
6. Air dry flat: Lay the item flat on a towel and reshape if needed. Avoid hanging (it can stretch out your stitches).
Feel free to message me if you have any additional questions! :)
-- Wear & Tear Program --
Each piece is thoughtfully handmade using new/upcycled materials, and a little wear over time is part of its story. That said, I’m always happy to help keep your item in good shape.
If your item experiences normal wear and tear; such as a keychain link breaking, magnet or label stitching coming undone; I offer complimentary repairs.
Simply reach out with description and picture and I’ll provide a free return shipping label so you can send it back for repair. Once fixed, I’ll return it to you ready for continued use and love.
Please note this policy covers minor repairs from regular use and does not include damage from misuse or significant alterations.
-- Second Chance Program --
Every piece in this shop begins with a story and it doesn’t have to end with you.
If you have a crochet item from my shop that you no longer use or love, you’re welcome to send it back so it can be transformed into something new. Through upcycling, your piece gets a second chance; reimagined, reworked, and kept out of the landfill.
To make it easy, I’ll provide a free return shipping label. As a thank-you for participating in this circular process, you’ll also receive a 15% discount code to use on a future purchase.
✦ Why This Matters:
Upcycling isn’t just about making something new; it’s about reducing textile waste, conserving resources, and honoring the materials already in circulation. The fashion and textile industry creates a massive amount of waste each year, and even small choices; like returning a handmade item for reuse; help lessen that impact.
Because my work is created from upcycled t-shirt yarn, every returned piece can be:
- Unraveled and re-spun into new yarn
- Reworked into a completely different item
- Combined with other materials for fresh, one-of-a-kind designs
Nothing goes to waste if it can be reimagined.
✦ How It Works:
- Reach out to let me know you’d like to return your item
- I’ll send you a free return label
- Once received, your piece will be carefully deconstructed and transformed into something new
- You’ll receive a 15% off code to use on your next order
✦ Thank you for being part of a more thoughtful, circular way of creating and consuming!
