yarn donations?
Hi Kelly,
There are bound to be some charity groups that have some donated yarn to work with. Some of our members have a hard time affording yarn but still want to make things for us, so we have bins of yarn for them. Our yarns come from people in our area that know about our charity and donate yarn. Sometimes someone in the family (aunt, grandmother) dies and they clean out the house and give any yarn to us. Salvation Army or Goodwill sometimes have donations given to them and they resell it in their stores for about $3.00 - $5.00 a large bag. You can also try yard sales, church sales, PSA's (Public Service Announcements) in your local newspapers and putting out the word with friends and family. Hope this helps. Loads of hugs, Melody "news.sonic.net" wrote in message ... I;m sure that many of you knit or crochet for charities. Do you get your yarn yourselves or get it donated? If it is donated, how do you get it? I would love to crochet baby blankets for local charities, but I can't afford to. Any ideas? TIA Kelly |

TIA Kelly My Project Linus will take donations of yarn and distribute the yarn to people who are willing to knit and crochet afghans for them.

When I've knitted for charities in the past, it's been knitting items for sale in a charity shop. They get yarn donated, but can make more money selling knitted items. That's probably not much help if you have a specific charity in mind, though. -- Kirsten Procter ghoti Current projects; full-length dress with matching jacket, child's jumper, gifts |

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. I'm going to see what I can find.
