We are always amazed with the kindness of knitters. When one of our customers had a loved family member pass away she was surprised to learn of all the acrylic yarn left behind. Sheila mentioned that there is a group called the Chalkdust Knitters who after their full time job as educators teach young children to knit and crochet. This knitter brought in four large containers of yarn.
Of course the story doesn't end there. We then learned that another knitter teaches female inmates to knit, while another knitter teaches women with developmental disabilities, and there is a handful of knitters who participate in church run charity knitting groups.
While we don't know right now what this yarn will become we do know it is going into the hands of knitters and crocheters who are reaching out to make the world a better place one stitch at a time. You gotta love that!
Happy Knitting!
