FREE fabric swap tomorrow!



I run a sustainability initiative called Thread Lightly, which hosts free, volunteer-run fabric (and other craft supplies) swap events. We aim to reduce textile waste going to landfill, provide free access to craft supplies, and create ways for people to connect with others.



We'll be at The Green in Mission Bay tomorrow, from 1–4pm. Join us!



Thread Lightly events are rapidly becoming Auckland's go-to place for donating your unwanted fabric and craft supplies, and finding items for future projects. Our last event was attended by around 450 people, and we rehomed 720kgs of fabric and other craft things. It was awesome! 



We encourage everyone to bring along their unwanted items (cos that's how the magic of the fabric swap happens), but there is always enough to go around - I currently have almost 400kgs (yes) of donations made before the event, sitting in my lounge, ready to bring tomorrow! So if you don't have anything to donate, come along anyway. We'd love to see you.



For reference, the kinds of things we take are: fabric (obvs), patterns, haberdashery, wool, embroidery bits, etc.



We're on the usual socials or contact me at [hello@threadlightly.nz](mailto:hello@threadlightly.nz) if you want to know more. Or just come along tomorrow, and have a nosey and a chat.



Ngā mihi!
