Mark International Plastic Bag Free Day with a Twist of Creativity!

July 3rd is International Plastic Bag Free Day. It's a day to focus attention on the serious impact of single-use plastics—not just bags, but all those disposables clogging up our planet. 

Single-use plastics harm our oceans, wildlife, and ecosystems, breaking down into microplastics that linger for centuries. But we can make a difference! By choosing sustainable materials like our recycled cotton macrame cord, crafted from upcycled textiles, we’re keeping waste out of landfills and supporting our mission to protect the planet. Plus, 10% of our profits go to Buy Land Plant Trees CIC, helping reforest Cumbria.

Why not acknowledge International Plastic Bag Free Day by creating your own reusable bag? Our 5mm recycled cotton macrame cord is perfect for crocheting or knotting sturdy, stylish bags that replace plastic ones. It’s soft, washable, and we have a wide range of colours.  

Or you can make a statement bag out of our popular T-Shirt yarn. 

Whether you're a macramé newbie or a seasoned knotter, this is the perfect opportunity to show off your eco-conscious flair. So this July 3rd, let's craft something that lasts. Because sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a lifestyle. And at Jolly Good Yarn, we’re proud to be part of that lifestyle.

💚 Join the movement. Make a bag. Save the planet—one knot at a time.

We love to see how creative you all are! 📸 Share your creation with #JollyGoodBag
