Jist Jute

Well yesterday was super-duper busy, having had great sales of crochet market bags & rope bowls and almost completely selling out of eco-sponges (of which i thought i had brought plenty!) 😂 Thumbs-up to the people of Perth, going for eco-answers and greener gifts 👍👍👍

Today we will be in Perth Civic Hall! If you have watched the "War On Plastics" programme with Hugh and Anita, you will definitely need to pop along and see what's available on our stall. All sorts of awesome alternatives including eco-sponges, market bags, jute shoppers, jewellery etc...

Come & see jist jute at Perth Community Farm. We're here till 4, come rain or shine (we've had both so far!) 😁🌞☔🌞☔🌞☔🤣

Next stop for Jist Jute:

Was so excited to be at #alythcreates last week, that i totally forgot to take photos for all my lovely followers! So you'll have to make do with these... 😂

Was at #dundee new #hotelindigo in the former Lower Dens Works last night for the start of #stobfest. Next event will be #alythcreates on 24/25/26 May! 😁

So after the excitement of Glasgow, Jist Jute is heading back to its historical roots in Dundee, and will be attending a "Health & Wellbeing" event at the Boomerang Centre on Kemback Street. Will we see you on 13th? I sure hope so! #jistjute #dundee #jute #history #health #wellbeing #handmade #ecofriendly #recycle #ecosponges #veganfriendly #organiccotton #madeinscotland #scottish #local #botanicallydyed #veganfriendly #fruit #veg #plantbased #reusable #natural #biodegradable

"Jist Jute" will be heading to the county of Angus on Saturday, to join the monthly Montrose Makers Market. New year, new market & new items. Pop along and see what's what!

**DRUMROLL** Eco-Sponges!!! 🌍🌳🌾🐝🐞
A modern & environmentally-friendly twist on a cleaning technique which Dundonians have been using for generations! These handmade sponges have soft recycled cotton on one side, and hardy woven jute on the other. They have excellent dish-washing capabilities; cutting through tomato based sauces, burnt on rice & oily pans with no problems. Once dirty, the they can simply be thrown in the washing machine and then hung up to dry, and then reused.... Once it has reached the end of its useful life, the just chop it up & add to your compost heap or "green waste" bin. (FYI, they work brilliantly in the shower, too!) 😉
I will be selling them individually at £4 each, or a mixed-pattern pack of 3 for £10.

Up at 5am, to head to Dundee Vegan Festival today! Feeing *blurgh*, but think I just need a coffee or 12.... Admission is free, so come & see me (and a heap of other great folks) at Abertay Student Centre on Bell St, Dundee! :D

Recently at "Jist Jute HQ" we've been revelling in this gorgeous autumn weather we've been having, and every dog-walk has turned into a harvesting trip. Sometimes we set out with something in mind...other times we just stumble upon something we think "hmmm...wonder what happens if...?"
So some of our harvest (and some of the results) can be seen in these pics; oak galls, walnuts, rowans, cherries, rosehips and dock seeds.
I'm looking forward to working with these new colours, but what I'd like to know are what YOUR favourite colours are?

Fancy a cheeky wee offer?
Drop-by the Etsy shop (just click below), "favourite" an item, and receive a voucher for 15% off that piece! Chuck it in your cart, and BOOM, you've started your Festive shopping! ;)

Excited to be attending this event in one of Dundee's former jute mills! Come & see where my base material was once made, and grab some unique gifts at the same time :)

Foraged some new wind-fall "ingredients" this morning whilst walking the dogs. Soon we will be trying Sweet Chestnut, Oak Gall and Walnuts! Autumn is finally starting to inspire me... just as I'm preparing for Christmas!
