hello all

i am making baby blankets for babies in the hospital and if someone donate some yarns for the blankets.

Here are some ideas for you.

 

You can call your local radio station and ask them to put out a request for yarn.

 

You can save money by buying Caron Simply Soft. It's the most economical yarn around, and it's great for baby items.

 

Many churches have a stash of 4 ply yarn in their craft room. It wouldn't hurt to go ask for a skein or two from each church in your area. Lutheran churches that have LWR sewing groups often have a great deal of yarn.

 

If there's a sewing group in your area, you can ask those ladies if they have extra yarn.

 

You can make several things and ask the newspaper to do a story on your project. Newspapers are always looking for human interest stories. Then the story could mention that you accept yarn donations.

 

Good luck!
