Last Yarn Academy
Supporting the next generation of creatives
Last Yarn Academy offers schools, universities, and charities scholarships, mentorships, and academy events including panellist talks and more.

In contributing to a new textile economy we will support inspiring young talents, working in partnership with schools, universities and charities to push localisation, collaboration and innovation.
We see education as a cornerstone of the change sweeping the industry and an opportunity to support emerging talents from its roots.
We will provide hugely reduced and gifted fabrics for students and charities, as well as providing donated off cut textile bins at universities and colleges across the country.

What is the impact of producing new textiles?
Fashion is one of the most polluting industries globally, with
- 70% of the fashion industry’s greenhouse gas emissions stem from material production.
- Around 20 % of wastewater worldwide comes from fabric dyeing and treatment.
- Of the total fiber input used for clothing, 87 % is incinerated or disposed of in a landfill.
