Donation Guidelines
~ All donation requests must be approved by the Guild board officers before being accepted.
~ Donated yarn and/or knitting tools will be used at the discretion of the Board of LKGM officers.
While we appreciate the offer, due to very limited storage space, we are only accepting the following at this time:
-
New, unused yarn, with labels attached.
-
Yarn may be of animal fibers (such as wool or alpaca), cotton, or man-made like acrylic. Make sure that the yarn is from a smoke free environment and free from any mold and/or critter infestation. Note in advance if the yarn has been exposed to pets or other allergens.
-
-
Wooden or bamboo style knitting needles.
-
Knitting needles should be straight and in matched sets (pairs of straight needles or 4/5 double pointed needles). We also accept unbroken/unbent wooden/bamboo circular needles or sets.
