This year The Homespun Yarn Party and Knitters and Crocheters Care are collecting knit and crocheted hats for HomeStretch (www.homestretch-inc.org) a 501(c)(3) that serves homeless families in Falls Church, VA. We will be creating and collecting hats for adults and children. You can drop off your hats at the Knitters and Crocheters charity table at the Homespun Yarn Party on Sunday, March 24, 2013. If you prefer, we will also accept other cold weather wearables, such as mittens, gloves, socks and sweaters.
Additionally, if you’re looking to destash - Knitters and Crocheters Care is collecting yarn for charity projects and charitable organizations throughout the DC metro area.
You can also grab your knitting needles and/or your crochet hooks, and come and knit/crochet with us. You are welcome to bring your own yarn, however, we will also provide charity yarn for you to work with.
Hope you can participate!! There will be prizes!
