Land's End and Warm Up America

[SharonB551]

I was wondering if any of you are participating in the Warm Up America program sponsed by Land's End. If you haven't seen the listing, Land's End is supposed to send you yarn for free and you make 7 x 9 inch rectangles for blankets to be donated to various causes. I emailed them about a week ago and haven't heard back, and I was wondering if anyone else has been involved with this program - If so, can you tell me if they contacted you before sending yarn, or did they just send the yarn (if so, how long did it take to get it) or did I just miss out on the whole thing since it states "supplies are limited"? Thanks.

I happened to be shopping at their website and came upon a link to this program. It sounds like they donated their yarn to organizations, not individuals.

I signed up and got one cone the last week of October. I've almost finished with it--a baby blanket, a child's afghan, and just enough left over for a couple of baby caps. I am donating them to a local charity. I like the feel of the yarn, but don't really think yarn that has to be hand washed or dry cleaned is the best choice for a charity project.
