View Workshop CalendarWe carefully select natural fabrics and quality threads. Our embroidery products are designed in small batches to reduce waste and support mindful craftsmanship.
We exclusively use 100% organic cotton and linen fabrics sourced from certified European suppliers. Our threads are natural fiber, free from synthetic dyes, and our hoops are crafted from sustainably harvested bamboo.
Every kit is assembled by hand in our Turku studio. We produce in small batches of 10-20 units to avoid overproduction and ensure each item receives careful attention. This approach reduces waste dramatically.
Our kits arrive in reusable cotton pouches with minimal paper packaging—all recyclable or compostable. We've eliminated plastic entirely from our supply chain and shipping materials.

Our signature sustainability kit features upcycled fabric scraps, organic thread offcuts, and bamboo hoops. Every material in this kit would have otherwise been discarded. Create beautiful art while giving materials a second life.
