Giving Projects

Each season we select a pattern by a featured knit or crochet designer for our Giving Project. We also choose a nonprofit organization to benefit from the project. When you buy yarn to make the featured pattern, we donate a portion of the proceeds to this nonprofit.

For Spring 2025 we are featuring knitwear designer Leila Raven. Her undulating Ziggy Triangle shawl, with its ripply stripes and lace detail, is our selection for this season's Giving Project. It's a great way to spotlight a slow gradient color-changing yarn, such as Primrose Homestead Sport or Feederbrook Entropy DK.

We have chosen the Be A Friend Project (BAFP) to be the beneficiary of our Spring Giving Project. The BAFP is a nonprofit whose mission is to end bullying and its traumatic consequences, save lives, and build kinder communities. Now through the end of June 2025, your purchase of yarn to knit this gorgeous shawl by Leila Raven will help support the BAFP in their meaningful work.

Some great sport-weight yarn choices for your Ziggy Triangle include: Primrose Yarn Co. Homestead Sport, Hudson Highlands Sport (non-superwash version available in-store), Lana Grossa Ecopuno, and Nua Sport. Here are some lovely DK-weight options: ITO So Kosho, Feederbrook Entropy DK, Kelbourne Woolens Scout, Feederbrook Farm BFL Solid, Hudson Highlands DK (non-superwash version available in-store), and The Fibre Co. Luma.
