Buy a stash, donate a stash, benefit charity

Looking for that missing skein or two? De-stashing but don’t know where to put your yarn to use?

Buy yarn on this site, and we will donate proceeds to one of our four charities designated by the person who gives us the yarn. Donate your stash and tell us which of our charities you prefer, and we will ensure that your charity receives the proceeds when your yarn sells. Feel good about purchasing missing skeins at a discount for a project. And feel even better knowing that you can clear out your stash and not feel guilty for doing so!

Yarn for Good started when a friend invited me to her house to see if I wanted a “few” knitting items and “some” yarn. “Some” yarn turned out to be six bins full of gorgeousness. Knowing that I had my own stash at home, I told her that I would take her yarn and design a website where it would be sold to benefit charity.

And here it is! In the past four years since that day, generous donors from across the United States have sent their unused stashes to Yarn for Good so that sales can benefit charities. You can start shopping now, or contact us to donate your stash. Currently, storage space is full. Please check back for when donations may open up again.
