🌳 Plant a tree every time you buy from Woolly Rebellion

By Katharine • Issue #32 • View online

Hi Crafters,

It’s super important to me that shopping with Woolly Rebellion won’t do harm to the planet. That’s why I recycle packaging or try to use the most sustainable new packaging options to send out your orders.

You might know that Woolly Rebellion started out as an Etsy shop. One of the things I like most about selling on Etsy is that they offset the carbon emissions of shipping on every order.

So, when I was setting up my own website, I wanted to be able to offer something similar. I’ve been able to do that via Ecologi and their partnership with Shopify.

At no extra cost to you, for every order placed via the Woolly Rebellion website, a tree will be planted. Every time you shop we’ll be contributing to a mangrove in Madagascar. 🌳

I’m a knitter and a nerd. Find me on Instagram as KnittedByNails, and my favourite crafty supplies are for sale in the Woolly Rebellion shop.

What have you been watching or listening to while crafting this week? I’d love to get your suggestions.

Here’s one from me…

Operation Odessa | Netflix

Pip and I love a batshit true-crime documentary. A Russian mobster, a Cuban spy and a smooth operator from Miami scheme to sell a Soviet submarine to a Colombian drug cartel for $35 million. Oh, and it all happened in the 80s and 90s. TV 📺
