One of the biggest benefits of synthetic haberdashery is how accessible it is. If you need something quickly, it’s usually the synthetic option you’ll find in the shops. It’s often the quick fix in a tight spot.

By building up a small supply of the natural haberdashery you use most often, you can reduce your reliance on synthetics and always have a natural alternative at hand.

We don’t usually encourage buying more than you need. But when it comes to natural sewing supplies, we make an exception.

To support you on your way to making natural haberdashery your new default, we offer a small discount for future planners.

Buy any four spools of natural thread and receive the 5th free.* No code needed. You can mix colours and thread weights 🌈⚖️

Build your natural haberdashery stash and skip those last-minute panic purchases.

*add 5 spools to your cart and automatically receive the cheapest spool free.

⁠
When we started Paper Scissors Cloth, it wasn’t about making a grand statement — it was more of a thought experiment. Why were there so few plastic-free sewing options, especially in haberdashery?⁠
⁠
Were plastic-based products actually better? Or was it more about habit, access, and a bit of bias?⁠
⁠
So we decided to find out for ourselves. We sourced our own plastic-free supplies and asked one simple question:⁠
⁠
Would they actually work? (Spoiler: they did — and then some.)⁠
