Yarn Amnesty Day - Saturday, July 13th

Bring your unwanted stash to Yarn Amnesty Day, Saturday July 13th!

You will receive $1.00 Store Credit for every pound of yarn you bring. 

Volunteers will be here to collect your yarn on the front porch.  The yarn will be distributed to various local charity groups for knitting projects or to area schools. We ask that the donated yarn be clean and in usable condition.

We will accept partial skeins and even finished or partially finished items!

Needle and hook donations welcome.

Nearly 250 pounds of yarn was donated last year!  Hundreds of hats, blankets, scarves, and various other items have been made and distributed throughout our community.
