🧵 🪡 Repairing is about so much more than fixing things. It’s about sharing skills, learning from each other, getting creative and giving the things we already own a second life.

Every garment, fabric and material holds value
and repairing, reusing and repurposing helps us keep that value for longer.

A hole in your favourite jeans? A loose seam? A piece of clothing that could use a little love? You don’t need to be an expert to get started, just a few tools, some materials and the willingness to try.

What’s something you’ve repaired yourself, or something you’d love to learn how to fix? Tell us in the comments!✨

From leftover yarn to „new“ yarn 🧶♻️

We recently joined Claire and Wonek from CL Studio for a workshop together with HILO, exploring what can happen to the yarn scraps left behind by tufting workshops and everyday making.

Instead of letting these leftovers go to waste, we went through the entire recycling process step by step, from sorting and preparing the different yarn scraps, to grading and processing the fibres, all the way to spinning them into new yarn.

It was a fascinating look at how much potential there is in materials that are usually considered waste and how they can find their way back into the making process.

Recap Latvia! ✨ Wow, what an amazing few days!

We met so many incredible people, hosted one of our biggest events in Ventspils, and even got to try on some traditional Latvian clothing in Valmiera. 🫶

It was such a special experience filled with unforgettable moments, new connections, and so much fun!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, welcomed us, supported us, and made these days so special. We truly couldn’t have done it without you!

We can’t wait to share the Lithuanian recap with you next!
This tour is already an all-time memory for all of us. 🚌✨
