"I initially joined the 'Making Stories Collective' because I wanted to
support an ethical, sustainable business, with the hope that many more people will be able to shop this way in the future.
I always look forward to the monthly knit nights, but I think my favourite perk is the early access to new stock deliveries. I love being able to get my hands on beautiful yarn in the my first choice of colourway!"
"I love feeling connected to other knitters around the world. Knit
Night gives me the opportunity to spend a relaxed hour sharing this
passion for knitting that unites us despite the miles."
"Being part of the Collective has many perks (early access, Collective
Knit Night, discounts...), but what I like most is knowing that I can
support the efforts that Hanna Lisa and her team are taking on.
It was through Making Stories Magazine that I learned to align my values pertaining to the environment with my knitting.
And, of course, the yarn and pattern choices!! It's a treat to get early access to what the shop has to offer. FYI: Winter Celebration box is not to be missed!"
"I really enjoy the collective because it gives me access to the virtual knit nights which take place on the second Tuesday of the month. I am a passionate knitter and I love talking about knitting with others who feel the same way.
We take an active interest in each others projects and discuss in detail various yarns and their qualities. At the same time, we do not shy away from more personal issues if a member wishes to talk about. I look forward very much to these evening sessions."
Making Stories is my life's work. I truly believe that we can make this world a better place by showing how a business that cares for this planet and its people can exist and thrive, even in a capitalist world.
That being said, it's damn hard. Choosing this path means much more time spent researching the origins of and trying out everything we carry, making very careful decisions about what to purchase and how much, and, in the case of our print magazine, higher paper prices and printing costs.
In a very volatile world with rising living expenses everywhere, running a small business has become really risky. Every shop update, I hold my breath – will this one be received well? Will I recoup the money I put into the yarn we purchased? Or will it bust, and we will have to scrabble for the next month?
With the Collective, we are adding a stable revenue stream to our business. This solid financial foundation will allow us to keep being as mindful and conscious about adding new products.
It will also help to keep the magazine going – right now, we are not losing any money on the magazine if we are selling out of an issue, but given the fragility of the print space, things can shift very quickly.
I hope you join us on this journey - and know that with every single contribution, I will be doing a little happy dance. Thank you for making this work possible. Hanna Lisa x
Making Stories Collective
Off course I always love receiving yarn from Making Stories and the color changing yarn is so soft and beautiful- I can’t wait to cast on! Also, this time, I ordered project bags and the pottery mugs. Both are so nice and shipped well without incident and I am having tea in my mug tonight while starting projects with my new yarn. Thank you Hanna Lisa and the team!
Great selection of carefully chosen projects which will be wardrobe staples
