Help Us Help Others This Winter
We're asking our fiber friends to join us in providing hats, scarves or mittens that we can share with community members in need. Items can be knitted, crocheted, machine knitted or store-bought. In 2023, fiber friends donated 60 items. Last year, we received 188 items! We're so appreciative that you have warmly embraced this effort and hope for another great year in 2025!
2024: Our Best Helping Hats Results Ever! 156 Hats & More!
Last year, The Artful Yarn received an overwhelming response! Last year, thanks to all of you, The Artful Yarn's fiber community donated 156 hats, 17 ear warmers, 9 scarves, 3 cowls and 3 pairs of gloves to partner organizations that requested support for people in need in their neighborhoods. Winters are long and cold in northeast Ohio.

What?
It's All About Hats We're asking the NEO crafting community to make and donate hats that will be distributed to local schools, organizations or charities that serve people in need in our local communities. Winters are long and cold in northeast Ohio. Warm outwear is incredibly important. We want to be a part of the good in our communities by providing warm hats for people in need. Our 2025 Goal: To meet or exceed last year's total Last year, thanks to all of you, The Artful Yarn's fiber community donated 156 hats, 17 ear warmers, 9 scarves, 3 cowls and 3 pairs of gloves to partner organizations that requested support for people in need in their neighborhoods. Deadline: Drop off items to the The Artful Yarn on any work day by December 6 -7, 2025. Please Note: Donated hats need to be machine-washable. You can use any design you want - simple, cabled, anything you want to do. And any size you want. As one of our fiber friends says, "There's always a head to fit a hat!" We couldn't agree more. We're also accepting other knitted or crocheted items like scarves, mittens and gloves. We also accept new, store-bought hats! Unfortunately, we cannot accepted used items. Thank you for being part of this effort! |
