Eco-friendly and Ethical Yarn Shop
We did it
On 5th May 2013 we successfully raised £1,544 with 80 supporters in 30 days

Hello! I am hoping to use this wonderful opportunity to raise £1000 to open an online discount eco-friendly and ethical yarn shop. Eco-friendly and ethical yarns needn't be too expensive, and the eventual aim of this yarn shop is to have a huge range of these yarns at the cheapest prices on the net. At first I will stock only Debbie Bliss's 'Eco baby' range, and gradually build up from there. The Eco Baby range is both organic and fair trade (yay!) and RRPs at £4.95 per ball, but this new online yarn shop will sell it at £2.70 per ball, saving you 46%!! I need the funding because the initial spend to set up the yarn shop is something I wouldn't be able to afford on my own. The Debbie Bliss yarn distributors require at least a £500 initial order, and I will use the other £500 to set up another wholesale account for another ethical yarn brand (I'm still trying to decide between Mirasol yarns and Mango Moon Yarns!). With your help I'll be able to get all this set up so that we can all keep feeding our yarny addictions and feel a lot less guilty! So, please do have a look at the rewards on offer for your contribution, and thanks sooOOoo much for reading!! Sofie
