As knitters, we value the feel of natural fibers and the animals and plants from which they come. This year we’ve decided to partner with The Heifer Project, whose work I so admire, to donate enough to buy four wool-producing animals for families in need. These animals will give new hope to families. We invite you to join us in this worthy initiative.
You can donate here at the shop or go directly to The Heifer Project and give a gift in someone’s honor. Who wouldn’t like the warm feeling that you gave in their name a gift that will yield countless bundles of wool for families to make clothes, blankets, ponchos and more … handcrafted pieces earn income for food and basic necessities.
Heifer’s mission is to end hunger and poverty while caring for the earth. For more than 60 years, Heifer International has provided livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of those who struggle daily for reliable sources of food and income. And since 1944, it has helped 48 million people through training in livestock development and livestock gifts that multiply.
