More than just a thrift store
By diverting textile waste, we are a community that values creativity, social responsibility, and environmental health, benefiting all people.
Emphasis on Natural Fibers
Our experienced team of textile specialists and volunteers sort through every donation that comes through our door mindfully and carefully. We test for fiber contents and sort yarn and fabric accordingly. You can shop 100% natural fiber yardage or yarn with confidence. While we do have an emphasis on natural fibers, all fiber art supplies are welcome as donations. Check out the donation guidelines for more information.
Textile Waste Diversion
The world produces 92 million tons of textile waste EVERY YEAR. Less than 15% of clothes and shoes in the U.S. end up being recycled. The remaining 85% end up in the landfill.
We accept donations of items we can sell to offer them a second life! We focus on mending, reuse, and creative upcycling.
Donate.
Your financial support fuels our mission to grow a resilient community committed to diverting textile waste from landfill. Your gifts connect our amazing staff and volunteers to you, and an ever-changing wonderland of gently loved, ethically sourced garments and materials for their next life with you. Your gifts provide free sewing and mending instruction, empowering low-income community members to gain new skills and independence. Your gifts inspire creativity and FUN. Your gifts are changing lives and growing the community. Thank you!
