Little Free Library of Craft Supplies

Our shop has something a bit similar: a shelf dedicated to 100% free yarn and craft supplies!

This library, like our Scholarship Fund, is contributed to by the shop and our community.

Anyone is welcome to donate and take home any of the yarn and supplies on the shelf.

If you would like to donate supplies, please read over our guidelines below before bringing them to the shop!

We will happily take donations shipped to us! See our visit us page for our address.

  • partial skeins (we prefer everything be at least 10 grams, however)

Donated Yarns for our Scholarship Fund

Please note: Sometimes we will pull some of the higher quality skeins of yarn donated to us to sell at a discount, to help raise money for our Scholarship Fund. All Scholarship Funds go towards helping people attend our classes & events! Read more or contribute directly to our Scholarship Fund here.

If you would like to request that all your donated yarn be put on the free shelf and not resold, please tell us when you drop off your donation and we'll make sure all your yarn goes where you want it to!
