Odds & Ends

Colorful home textiles – made from surplus materials from industry

When factories dye yarn for textile production, an extra stock is often made just in case – but much of this yarn ends up unused. Odds & Ends textiles are designed to make full use of these scraps and create endless, unexpected color combinations.

Collections & Colors

Odds & Ends collections are produced in batches. The factory collects surplus materials and uses these colors to create a new design, which is then put into production. The precise design is just the starting point – during production, some of the residual materials are used up and replaced with similar colors.

Therefore, the images you see are an indicative representation of how the textiles look, but there will be slight variations within each batch.

Colours may vary

As these textiles are produced in small batches from surplus materials, colors may vary. However, the general color palette is always preserved, so that textiles within the same color scale can be easily combined. The product you receive may be identical to or have slight variations compared to the images on this page. The duo set consists of one textile in primarily cold tones and one in primarily warm tones.

Washing and care instructions

All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed at 30°C in the washing machine's cotton program together with similar colours. To preserve the intensity of the colors, an organic detergent is recommended for colored washing.

To extend the life of the textiles, air drying is recommended, but terrycloth products such as soft towels – especially those with a velor surface – may benefit from an occasional tumble dryer on medium heat to soften the fibers without the use of chemical fabric softeners.

If you live in an area with chalky water, you can soften both your textiles and washing machine by adding citric acid or vinegar to the rinse cycle from time to time.

Loose Threads

This product is woven with terry loops to ensure a soft and absorbent quality. Newly woven terry loops can be more prone to loose threads, so be careful with jewelry when first worn.

If a thread should come loose, never pull it! Carefully cut it off with sharp scissors – this will prevent further loose threads and will not affect the woven structure of the textiles. After the first few washes, the fibers will become more resistant to snags.

Properties

• 100% pure beeswax from The Green Wax Pool
• Free from pesticides and antibiotics
• Burn time: approx. 3.5 hours per candle
• Handmade in Denmark
• The tea light without holder measures Ø3.7 cm

Over time, beeswax candles form a natural white layer on the surface – a mark of quality that can easily be removed with the warmth of your hands.

How to use the cup

• Wash your hands. Fold the cup (e.g. U-fold).
• Insert in a comfortable position and release so that the rim can unfold completely.
• Check for a vacuum by running a finger around the rim.
• Empty as needed. For heavy flow, typically 2–3 times a day; for light days, it can be worn for up to 10–12 hours.

Cleaning & storage

• Rinse with warm water after each emptying.
• For a safe start to the cycle: boil for 2–5 minutes.
• Avoid aggressive agents (e.g. chlorine) as they can damage the silicone.
• After the cycle: wash thoroughly, dry and store in a cotton bag – not in plastic.
• Colour change over time is normal and does not affect function.
• Cleaning powder can be used as directed for thorough cleaning.

If the cup leaks or is difficult to remove

• Leaks are most often caused by the cup not being fully unfolded or sitting too high. Try a different fold, adjust the position or choose a different size.
• When removing: relax your pelvic floor, gently squeeze the base to break the vacuum, and slowly pull out.

Safety

• Always wash your hands before insertion/removal.
• Not a contraceptive. Remove the cup before sexual intercourse.
• If you experience symptoms consistent with Toxic Shock Syndrome (e.g. sudden fever, rash, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness), remove the cup immediately and contact a doctor.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

The balm bar also acts as an effective and gentle moisturizer for the skin. Use the bar on damp skin in or after the bath, where the deep-acting oils will penetrate and leave the skin soft and thoroughly moisturised.

How to use your Kystnær conditioner

• Moisten the bar and run it through wet hair to the tips
• Let it sit for a minute
• Wash the hair until all the conditioner has been rinsed out
• Rinse the bar clean and store it dry

The bar lasts longer if it is allowed to dry between uses.

How do you use a Safety Razor?
If you haven't tried a safety razor - or a DE scraper like this one, then you probably just have to get used to using it. And your skin probably needs to too.

But follow this procedure - and you're pretty much on your way:
 

• Moisten skin and beard/hair with warm water
• Use shaving foam or a shaving brush and lather it up well - possibly. with a brush
• Check your scraper and make sure the scraper head and handle are not loose. However, only tighten the screw if it is loose. Then you are sure that the blade is at the right angle
• Start your shave and hold the scraper at a 30 degree angle to the skin
• Let the scraper slide over the skin with light pressure
• Shave only in the direction of the hairs - not against the hairs
• Tighten the skin in places where it can be difficult to get a flat surface - e.g. on the neck

Can a Safety Razor also be used by women?
The short answer is: YES!

The Safety Razor also works well for shaving on the body.

Even though Mühle's leaflet says that it should only be used on the face. But Mühle's products are sold all over the world, so they have probably chosen to be extra careful with their recommendations for that reason. As long as you are careful with the shave, just as you would be if it were on the face, then you can easily use it on the body too.

Organic merino wool yarn from Krea Deluxe

Thick GOTS-certified organic merino wool yarn from Krea Deluxe. Wool 2 wool yarn is super soft and is particularly suitable for sweaters, scarves, shawls, baby and children's clothes, blankets, pillows etc. This new version of Organic wool 2 has been developed to fluff up to 80% less, and Krea Deluxe has thus succeeded in producing a soft and organic wool yarn WITHOUT adding unnecessary chemistry such as e.g. superwash and other chemicals.

Use it alone or together with Silk Mohair yarn from Krea Deluxe.

The wool originates from South America and is produced with a focus on resource awareness and animal welfare, and is of course free from interventions such as e.g. mulesing. The woolen yarn is spun, dyed and finished at a small spinning mill in Portugal, where Krea Deluxe's unique tone-on-tone colors are carefully developed in collaboration with the local colorist. However, Krea Deluxe's uncompromising commitment to GOTS-certified dyeing slightly limits their ability to offer a greater range of colors, as stronger and more vibrant colors require chemical agents and processes that cannot be GOTS-certified. They at Krea Deluxe have turned that to their strength, and with GOTS-certified colors have created beautiful, douchey and more coordinated colors in a unique color scale.

Specifications

Run length: 50 g = 85 m
Recommended needles: 4 - 4.5 mm
Knitting strength: 10 x 10 cm = 20 stitches / 30 rows on needle 4

Washing instructions

First wash: To get the right fullness in the wool, we recommend soaking your finished Wool 1 product for a minimum of 10 minutes in a maximum of 30 degrees warm water. Then dry it flat on, for example, a towel and push your knitted/crocheted work into place in the correct measurement. The wool can stretch a bit in the wash, but contracts and gives the right fullness when it is dried flat and blocked according to measurements.

Subsequent washes: Hand wash is recommended, as washing machines' wool programs are very different.
If you have a good washing machine with a gentle wool program, you can wash your Wool 1 product in the machine.

Remember:

• Use only a small amount wool detergent without enzymes.
• Use washing bag, max 30 degrees and 800 revolutions.
