FREE SCRAP T-SHIRTS

Help save these promotional t-shirts from the garbage!

These red t-shirts were used for a promotional night in Bristol. The promoters just didn't know what to do with all the leftovers, so rather 
than chucking them, we said we'd help give them away for free!

We've packaged them into bags of three for you to do whatever you want with them: chop, sew, turn inside out, applique over, you name it! Just have some fun!

Get your creative juices flowing and save these poor t-shirts here: http://bit.ly/VadHwx

WOOL WEEK | Offset Warehouse joins in on the fun with our Wool Week Special!



British Wool Week Starts Today!


Wool week, running from the 15th - 20th October, is a campaign to support local farmers and small business whose livelihood depends on the wool industry.  Since its launch, the price that farmers now get for their wool has increased.  But the wool war is far from won yet.

 British Wool week

Wool is so eco friendly it's boarding on bonkers: it's natural, biodegradable, renewable and sustainable. It's brilliantly versatile and can be used for textile manufactures, carpeting, interiors and fashion and design.

To celebrate wool week, we've decided to slash our most popular wool prices - take a look for yourself: www.offsetwarehouse.com/wool. We want as many designers on board, supporting British wool.

FABRIC LOVE | PEACE SILK

FABRIC LOVE| Don't you love waking up in the morning to a whole new set of sumptuous samples?! Lime green peace silk? Eeee!




PEACE SILK | Luxurious silks free from animal cruelty!
http://bit.ly/rlxefW

What is Peace Silk...?

Silk comes from the cocoons of silk worms. Peace Silk allows the silkworm to complete its lifecycle and only once the moth has emerged fro
m its cocoon it is placed in boiling water. The boiling water dissolves the gummy substance holding the cocoon together, so the strands of silk can be unwound and then turned into thread, yarn or fabric.

So, how is that any different to regular silk?

Regular silk is extracted by placing the cocoon AND the silkworm in boiling water. This means the silk worm is killed in the process!

We have an awesome range of luxurious Peace Silks, free from animal cruelty - Take a look!


 Visit us at www.offsetwarehouse.com to see a full range of the silks we have!
