Early Birds - Kereru pure cotton fabric

$7.00
Size

Pure cotton fabric ready to make your own beeswax wraps or use in quilting, sewing or craft projects. 

 

How to buy 

Our fabric is sold in fat quarters or half metre lengths.  If you purchase multiple fat quarters, they will be individually cut.  If you purchase multiple half metres, they will be a continuous length of fabric.  Note that we usually only list a few metres of each fabric at any time, however we usually have more in stock - feel free to check with us for larger amounts.  

  

What is a fat quarter?

Fabric is usually sold by the linear metre, so a quarter metre of fabric would usually be 25 cm long by the width of the roll (usually about 112 cm).   A fat quarter is cut at 50 cm long by half the width of the roll - giving you a square-ish piece of fabric that is often a more practical size to use.   


 I'm making beeswax wraps - how much fabric do I need?

Each of our 120 gram blocks of beeswax blend is enough to wax around half a metre of fabric, or two fat quarters.   Keep it simple with a single pattern, or mix and match - your choice!

Delivery Costs and Timelines

New Zealand:

Courier delivery $7 flat rate on orders up to $50 value.

FREE COURIER DELIVERY in NZ on orders $50+.   

Delivery Timeline: 2-3 working days after dispatch.

 

Australia & Rest of World:

 Sadly, due to rising costs of international delivery and extended delivery delays, as of 3 November 2020 we have removed our international shipping option. 

 

We hope to resume international deliveries when the situation improves, but for now we believe this is our only option to avoid disappointment to customers.   

 

International Orders and Bee Products

Different countries have different rules around importation of natural products, and it's common for beeswax not to be allowed in order to protect the health of their local bees.  We get it.  After all, Kev and I (Dee) are beekeepers, first and foremost.

HOWEVER, we have very tight biosecurity and good bee health here in New Zealand, and as many of our products are a blend of beeswax, tree resin and other oils, there is no risk they will ever end up being used directly in a beehive, as a block of pure beeswax might.   

Therefore we've had no problem with border restrictions, and as at the date of writing this, our products have been sent without problem to Australia, the US, Canada, the UK, and a dozen other countries . 

Some countries may have various border or import charges - please note that you will be responsible for any such charges. 

  

What about packaging?  Do you use plastic?

We're committed to eliminating plastic wherever we can - the clear bags our kits are packaged in are NOT plastic.  They are genuine cellophane, made from vegetable cellulose and are fully biodegradable and home compostable. 

And we're very happy to announce that the black courier bags we use are also NOT plastic!  They are made from plants (mostly corn I believe), and are fully biodegradable, and home compostable.  And, a little oddly, they smell like fresh toast, or maybe popcorn!

It's not just plastic we're about reducing though - You'll see on our naked DIY blocks you have the option to buy without packaging, and on every one of our ready-made wrap pages we encourage customers to let us know if they don't need individual packaging on the wraps.
