mending & crafts

Did you know that washi is traditional Japanese paper processed by hand using fibers from the inner bark of certain trees or shrubs? Since antiquity, Japanese washi has been made from renewable plant resources that reach maturity in 1-2 years. When compared to wood-based papers (that take dozens of years to mature and require many chemicals), washi is created with significantly less harm to our environment in a clean and eco-friendly manner. Likewise, mending can add years (and character) to your garments to save them from the landfill. We stand by clean, reliable fibers and resources, that make this world a little safer for our children and great-grandchildren, too.
