How it works

How does this work?! It’s simple, really! Someone with a great yarn stash (you, maybe!) donates their stash to Yarn for Good. The donor designates one of our listed charities to receive proceeds of sales of their stash. We ask our donors to pack their yarn and send it to us. We will do the rest. We do the pricing, posting for sale, packing and sending to buyers. And, best of all, we send a check to designated charities every quarter. We do not accept 100% acrylic or polyester yarn, or yarn with high percentages of acrylic or polyester fibers, and kindly ask that your donated yarn is unused and has an identifying label. Wound yarn is welcome, as long as the initial tag is available.

We also ask that donors are willing to send their stash to us in Wyoming. On our end, we only charge a low flat rate for sending purchased items to buyers so that the majority of the sale proceeds benefit the designated charities. Increases in postage and shipping have created challenges to this process and we hope you understand.

Our storage space is limited. We are not currently accepting donated yarn. We invite you to check back if you are unable to donate your yarn locally.
