Would anyone be interested in donating yarn?

I am starting my charity crocheting, FINALLY! Had to get organized, between moving and sorting, i had to get my yarn gathered up, and take stock. Still deciding on the name for my charity, though. Some finished items will go to a local domestic violence shelter, some items will go to U of VA Hospital in Charlottesville, Va. If the locations of my donated items change, i will definitely update on it. I will also be taking photos of finished items and posting on a blog as well. It will be a slow proccess at first, because this is all new to me, but i feel that speed will come with experience.

 

I will be making:

• Hats for adults, preemies, and probably for children, once i find an easy quick pattern for a child's head size

• Scarves for children and adults, fringe-free

• Maybe neckwarmers for adults and kids

• Booties for preemies

• Blankets for preemies, maybe children

 

My goal is to make items that are comfortable and easy to care for, wash and wear kind of things, that are comforting and warm,. Which is why I’m skipping the fringe on the scarves. Any color, any fiber is great, the only thing I’m looking to avoid is the novelty stuff. Leftovers, scraps are fine as well, it doesn’t need to be the whole skein or hank, I can find a use for it all. If anyone is interested in donating, PM me. Thank you

Good luck with your new project I hope it goes well for you. I started mine in January and it takes time, both to crochet everything you want to make, and to get everything set up so you can share what you are doing via your blog/website. It is worth the time and effort though, both because of the charities you are helping and because you meet such lovely people via donations. That has been the best thing for me the nice people I can now email and chat with about crochet and charity work! All the best and if you want to chat then PM/email me!
