Our reNEWool mission: to keep Woollykins in use and circulation, raise awareness about the value of caring for and mending textiles, make quality Woollykins clothing affordable to lower income families and raise money for local environmental and social justice initiatives.

Below are the terms and conditions the apply to this initiative to help us deliver this program and ensure it is sustainable and mutually beneficial to all. 

On the journey to circularity many textile business are aware of the benefit of such a program but there are many logistical challenges involved for small businesses running such a program. We believe we can overcome these challenges and rely on like minded customers to participate in a way that keeps the program sustainable.

Assessing the condition of your returned garments

Woollykins will assess the condition of the returned garments in as fairly as possible. Some subjectivity is involved in assessing the garment's worth but as experienced menders of knitwear we know the workload involved in taking on very large repairs. If in doubt, please email renewool@woollykins.com.au to discuss your concerns before returning any garments.
