About New York Textile Lab :

NYTL is a design and consulting company offering products and services that support Carbon Farming practices, creating yarns and textiles that link designers with local fiber producers and mills. We help build a diverse, regenerative textile supply ecosystem, empowering designers to make socially and environmentally responsible choices.

Our textiles are made with fibers grown on healthy, climate-beneficial soils in our region and crafted by transparent, ethical, and local mills.

We believe textile production should thrive through regenerative, collaborative systems, not extraction or scarcity. Connect with NY Textile Lab and be part of a regenerative textile economy.

Join us on Friday, August 8th from 5-7 for a PLUS SIZE, GENDER FREE clothing swap. Please bring clean, XL+ clothes, shoes and accessories of wearable, sharable quality to exchange or give away. You don't need to bring clothes to take clothes home! All clothing left behind will be given to local clothing resource centers. Please contact @xxtrare with any questions.

Monthly Mending & Crafting Night

Thrift 2 Fight, Tivoli, NY

48 Broadway, Tivoli, NY 12583

Watching something come together at the slight of (your) hand is an empowering experience. The confidence to create a visible repair, the ability to fix something so carefully that no one would know it's been broken, the freedom to make a decision of bringing an artwork to life... let's build it together.

We're hosting a casual gathering for clothing mending and upcycling. We will supply materials, including lots of extra fabric to use for patching. Feel free to bring extra materials to share! If you don't have anything in your closet that needs repairing but want to engage in the loving act of mending, come anyway: we have a project bin of cool clothes that need TLC so maybe you'll find one you like to repair and take home for free xx

Wednesday, March 5th 6-7:30pm

Bring: yourself, your project, and fixing materials (optional)
