Recycling Initiative
We believe in a responsibility to our environment in the short and long term, recognising that change is made of both small, everyday choices and large-scale initiatives.
With our Recycling Initiative, we invite our community to send in heavily worn 100% wool garments or home textiles to be recycled in exchange for a 15 percent discount on your next purchase. In the process, we welcome our customers to be a direct part of our circular production process — giving used pieces new life while keeping clothing out of landfills.
Contact us at rose@roveknitwear.com to organise a drop off, or to get instructions on how to mail us your bag of woollen textiles. We look forward to hearing from you!

Heirloom Patchwork Blanket will be launched online once we forage enough patches!
