It's the last day to enter our £150 #zerowasteweek giveaway with @wearekind2 & Jungle Culture 🍀 socko.shop/zero-waste-week 🍀
We're all for working with waste but shouldn't we all be looking at why there is so much waste in the first place and tackling the overproduction and throwaway culture instead of accepting it and trying to manage the consequences.

This is a close up of the inside of The Ink 🔎 from our 90% reclaimed cotton #socks. Ever wondered about that towel-like texture? 🤔🛀 It's called #terryloop - a #knitting technique that creates tiny loops of yarn, resulting in a plush feel under foot and enhanced absorbency 🧶➿
Today we're heading to the Japanese Aesthetics of Recycling exhibition @bruneigallery @SOAS 💙🪡♻️ Have you been? What did you think?

Have you felt these socks?? They're 90% extra-fine reclaimed #merinowool. As shiny as silk, as soft as cashmere. Wool is temperature regulating, meaning in winter it helps to hold in your body heat & in summer it helps your body cool off. Get yourself a pair today 🧦💙 #woolsocks
Great to talk to The Salvation Army about this yesterday 👕♻️
