Yarn Wanted (Mt Vernon) $1

2009-11-07T14:48:20-06:00

I am looking to buy yarn to make hats with. I make the hats then donate them to churches and hospitals to give out to people who need them, especially kids. If you have any yarn you would like to sell at a reasonable price, please let me know. I will drive within 20 miles of Mt Vernon to pick it up. The yarn that works best for these hats are either Worsted weight or sport weight yarns, as well as baby soft yarns. Anything you have would be helpful. If you are a church and need some knitted hats for kids or someone in your church, if you provide the yarn, I will make the hats free of charge. Thank you. Willing to pay for the yarn if it is reasonably priced as I make these and give them away....
