A request to knitters/crocheters....

As part of the "Crafts for Critters" program at IMHS, I make & donate knitted, felted wine cozies . They sell at the thrift store and have proven quite popular.

In an effort to de-clutter the craft room, I have recently made a few from my "leftovers" of partial skeins of wool. The results have been funky & fun. I took a gamble on different brands of wool felting at different rates, and won! I'll soon transition back to a single color w/coordinated trim and then the cycle shall repeat itself.

So, I got to thinking...
Would any knitters or crocheters care to donate any remnants of wool yarn? Even a few yards would make an amusing stripe in one of these projects. If you'd like to clean up your yarn stash and have it go to a good cause, I'll take it - as little or as much as you'd care to part with.
Wool only please. (Though I'd consider alpaca as well). No man-made fibers or blends as they will not felt and the end project would ruined.
PM me to arrange a meet or drop it off at the IMHS thrift store. Thanks in advance.

I will definetly get the word out!

Thanks Iris!
Perhaps they can be collected at the Knit Knook and I can pick them up from time to time?

That sounds good! I'll let you know.

I put a basket at the Knit Knook for scrap wool donations. You can check with Diane in awhile and pick it up when ever you want.

Brilliant! Thank you.

A huge thank you to Diane and the gang at the Knit Knook. A basket has been placed on the hearth ready to collect your odds & ends of wool.
Hugs to the anonymous person with a warm, wooly heart who donated an entire skein to the cause.

:thumbsup:

There are lots more wool donations in your basket at the Knit Knook!

My cup (basket?) runneth over?
Thanks to all of the generous contributors.
I'll pick up the wool this afternoon.
