Well, here’s a little mystery discount code just for you (:
+ the most recent updates
Signature Thread Identity Update
Internal overlock thread updated from color-matched to universal Evergreen Overlock Thread
Establishes a distinct Northrnr signature, instantly recognizable — even from the inside
We track the full lifecycle of every Northrnr Beanie — from fabric to shipping — to calculate the carbon footprint. We then neutralize it by planting Minnesota-native trees.
Component | CO₂ Emissions (kg per beanie) | Notes / Assumptions |
---|---|---|
Fabric production | 4.0 | Includes yarn sourcing, dyeing, and minor scraps (assuming ~0.3–0.4 kg fabric per beanie) |
Fabric shipping | 0.2 | Truck from supplier to MN |
Electricity (production) | 1.0 | Sewing and production energy ($60/month spread over many beanies) |
Packaging & sourced parts | 0.3 | Tags, labels, inserts, elastic if any |
Shipping to customer | 0.5 | Max U.S. distance: MN → ME |
Operational overhead | 0.1 | Office, hosting, website, small workshop transport, employee commuting |
Production consumables | 0.05 | Needles, bobbins, minor workshop materials |
Returns / Exchanges | Not included | Depends on circumstance; extra tree planted if return occurs |
Total Footprint | 6.15 | Fully comprehensive, conservative estimate |
Tree Offset Calculation
A single young tree absorbs about 12 kg of CO₂ per year (≈60 kg over 5 years), while a mature tree can absorb 30–50 kg per year (≈150–250 kg over 5 years).
Total trees planted per beanie: 6.15 ÷ 12 ≈ 1 tree
By planting one tree per beanie through local conservation partners, we fully neutralize the carbon footprint of your Northrnr Beanie.
Component | CO₂ Emissions (kg per beanie) | Notes / Assumptions / Safety Margin |
---|---|---|
Fabric production | 5.0 | Higher-impact yarn, extra scraps included |
Fabric shipping | 0.3 | Longer truck routes or delays considered |
Electricity (production) | 1.2 | Slightly higher electricity use in shop |
Packaging & sourced parts | 0.4 | Extra packaging, labels, inserts |
Shipping to customer | 0.6 | Maximum distance or heavier package |
Operational overhead | 0.15 | Extra marketing, office, hosting, e-commerce, minor workshop transport |
Production consumables | 0.07 | Needles, bobbins, machine oil, minor workshop materials |
Returns / Exchanges | Not included | Extra tree planted if return occurs |
Total Footprint | 7.72 | Fully overestimated to cover all scenarios |
Tree Offset Calculation
Total trees planted per beanie: 7.72 ÷ 12 ≈ 1 tree
Even though our conservative estimate shows that 1 tree fully offsets the footprint of a Northrnr Beanie, and our overestimate suggests 1 tree would cover it, we go a step further to be extra safe: we plant 2 trees per beanie. This ensures that every Northrnr Beanie remains carbon neutral, even under the highest-impact scenarios or unexpected events.
