Charity Knitting - Knitting for Orphans

Warm Woolies has had some great press recently. Here's what people are saying about us:

Warm Woolies is a non-profit organization whose volunteers knit warm clothing for poverty-stricken children who would otherwise suffer from cold. Our mission is to provide the very neediest children with wool sweaters, vests, hats, mittens, and socks.

In 2008, we're knitting for children living in orphanages in Russia, Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia and on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge tribal reservations in South Dakota. Our goal for 2008 is to knit 7,000 pieces of warm wool clothing for these children!

Warm Woolies supplies yarn, patterns, and needles to knitters throughout the Denver area. If you're outside Denver and need wool yarn in order to participate, we ask that you do the following:

We have a new policy for providing yarn to knitters who cannot pick up supplies at our workspace.

We will send wool yarn to knitters who have already sent in at least one finished piece using their own yarn and who do the following:

We welcome volunteer knitters of all skill levels.

If you're interested in knitting for children with the fewest resources, you've come to the right place. Please read over our "Guidelines for Knitters" page which will tell you where to start. Email us if you need additional information.
