By Mary Thompson – Ingleton, North Yorkshire
Hello! I’m Mary Thompson, founder and maker at ThreadKind, a small but mighty home-studio clothing brand rooted in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. From my workshop in Ingleton, I’ve been crafting handmade organic garments — clothing that’s not only beautiful and comfortable but also kind to the planet.
Now, I’m ready to take ThreadKind to the next level — and I’m inviting you to be a part of this exciting journey.
Fast fashion is exhausting the planet, flooding landfills with waste, and exploiting workers. ThreadKind is my answer to that — small-batch, sustainable clothing made from ethically sourced, 100% organic materials.
Every piece is designed, cut, and sewn in my home-studio, ensuring minimal waste, a low carbon footprint, and impeccable quality. But to grow and make this dream sustainable, I need your help.
We’re aiming to raise £50,000 to:
Purchase new professional-grade sewing and cutting machines to improve production efficiency.
Expand our material stock with premium certified organic fabrics.
Launch a new exclusive range of summer wear and eco-friendly hoodies — perfect for breezy days and cool evenings, all designed with comfort, durability, and sustainability in mind.
Develop eco-conscious packaging that’s plastic-free and fully recyclable.
To thank every supporter for believing in ThreadKind, anyone who donates £50 or more will receive an exclusive organic hoodie — entirely free of charge.
These hoodies will be:
Made from super-soft, 100% organic cotton
Available in multiple colour options inspired by the Yorkshire Dales
Ethically produced right here in my studio
Uniquely numbered as part of our first official production run
You’re not just backing a project — you’re preordering a piece of the future.
Supporting ThreadKind isn’t just about clothes. It’s about:
Championing sustainable fashion
Supporting local, independent craft
Reducing the environmental footprint of your wardrobe
Helping a small Yorkshire business grow with integrity
Together, we can prove that fashion can be ethical, local, and planet-positive.
Join me on this exciting chapter. Whether you’re passionate about sustainability, local craftsmanship, or simply love a good hoodie, your support makes a difference.
Let’s build something beautiful, lasting, and green — one stitch at a time.
