Our packaging...
We send out orders in strong paper mailing sacks that have been tested to survive adverse weather conditions and the rigours of the Royal Mail postal system just as well as plastic/polythene does. Our latest discovery is 'grass paper' which is made from grass fibre, and is fully recyclable and compostable. Grass paper mailing bags have the same life span as standard paper but use significantly less water and energy in the production process and there are no chemicals involved. The overall CO2 emissions are greatly reduced compared to standard paper.
Inside the paper mailer, your yarn will be wrapped in tissue paper which is made from 100% recycled materials and is recyclable.We use paper 'bubble wrap' and corrugated cardboard to protect your books, magazines, knitting needles, and notions in the post, as well as reusing strong card from box deliveries where necessary.
We reuse plastic bubble wrap to protect notions (such as eucalan wool wash) if we receive it in deliveries, rather than throw it away.
Knit Pro needles and notions are packed in thin polythene sleeves that are unfortunately, not widely recyclable. We hope that all of the commercial packaging, that is currently beyond our control like this, will one day be fully compostable/recyclable...
