So back to

Knitwear

My Woolovers cardigan has turned up. Hooray. A kitted hoodie. the best of all worlds.

I ordered from them because the garment is made from natural fibres and they send their cardigans out in almost plastic free packaging. 

The sealing  strip and some thread reinforcement on the top were the only plastic to be found on the outer paper bag. 

This was exciting enough but I opened it to see the cardigan itself packed in a degradable compostable cornstarch back. People will tell you that you cannot compose them in your garden composter. They are wrong I have composed of many of these bags. 

The label was cardboard and attached with string

The receipt, sadly, had a plastic liner attached. I don’t really know why. 

But on the whole a fantastic effort.

They also make a range of other environmental claims including

1. We will ensure at least 95% of our collections are made from natural fibres.
2. We will use more recycled yarns.
3. We will replace our garment care labels & tickets with a natural alternative.
4. Read all of them here

They sell other plastic free products. I got these tea lights in cardboard  a box.
