I am a 69 yr old retired Sp. Edu. Teacher and I have a 66 yr. old friend. We are desperately needing yarn for our charity work. We are both disabled and cannot do alot, but we can knit and crochet for charity. We have made over 2000+ items for charity in the past 3 years. However, we are now out of yarn and must cease our work or receive more yarn. We work thru the Knitwitters at the Hillsboro Church of Christ who collects our work and then it is distributed to hospitals and charity organizations.
We do helmet liners, hats, and laprobes for soldiers. We also do chemo hats, baby items, items for the homeless and for nursing homes.
I have pictures on my fb page and I am going to try to upload one here showing our work.
I cannot volunteer to do some things; however, I live in the middle of a 155 acre farm and have lots of time to knit and crochet.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Terri, we do use acrylic. We use any of yarn in some way as long as it has not been chewed by animals.

We bless all of you in our prayers and thanks for all the yarn that has been sent. We have used most of it already and would love to have more yarn from anyone anytime.
Thanks so much.
