Sustainability
As a company, we are always striving to make a positive contribution towards a more sustainable future, and to impact lives through inspiration, creativity and fun!
We’re very proud to produce our kits here in Scotland, providing jobs in our local area, and contributing to the local economy. Our needle felting kits all contain Corriedale wool fleece; a 100% natural material that is fully biodegradable with no plastic content; and are packaged in recyclable cardboard boxes. We're also a member of the Eco-Packaging Alliance, meaning that the packaging we use is helping to plant trees in areas of need!
In January 2021 we were thrilled to be awarded “Best Sustainable Craft Company” in the Craft Business Awards.

Giving Back
At The Crafty Kit Company we’ve built a business with giving at its heart. We aim to be a 'Business for Good', and when you buy a craft kit from us, you’re making amazing things happen for the people and places that need it most, both at home and abroad.
We regularly donate to and fundraise for local charities, such as Edinburgh Headway Group, a charity supporting people with acquired brain injury, Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home, and The Scottish Seabird Centre.
For every craft kit that we make, we also donate one ‘impact’ to charitable projects throughout the world, through our partnership with the non-profit social enterprise B1G1, such as providing clean drinking water to families in Malawi, or sight-saving vitamin supplements to children in northern Kenya.
