Yarn Amnesty

Yarn Amnesty is back! After an historic delivery last year, we have a brand new facility that needs your yarn: McRae Women's Facility in Georgia.

Do you have yarn that is taunting you, wondering when you are going to use it, but it has lost its luster for you? Start streamlining your stash to get ready for Yarn Amnesty! 

Fuzzy Goat's Yarn Amnesty, making a positive impact on women's lives behind bars and beyond!  If you've got a stash of yarn that's been sitting unused, it's time to give it a new life while supporting a great cause. Bring in your gently loved yarn as part of our Yarn Amnesty program, and we'll make sure it reaches women in the Georgia correctional facility who use crocheting as a means of rehabilitation and skill-building.

By participating in our Yarn Amnesty program, you'll not only contribute to sustainability efforts by reducing yarn waste, but you'll also help empower incarcerated women through creative expression and productive activities. It's a win-win situation that benefits both the environment and those striving for a better future.

As a token of our gratitude, you'll receive a special discount on your next yarn purchase when you donate to our Yarn Amnesty program and we will ferry your yarn to the Faith & Character Initiative at Emanuel Women's Facility in Swainsboro, Georgia. Together, let's create positive change, one stitch at a time!  The women tell us that they get to make gifts for their families (giving them a sense of long-lost dignity) and also make blankets for law enforcement to have in their cruisers for comfort and also for nursing home residents.

Bring your full or partial skeins of clean, unscented, unwanted yarns (labels preferred but not required - no partial projects please). May 24th - June 1st (we're closed Sundays and Mondays)

We will give you a ten dollars coupon in Fuzzy $ for your donations (when you give us at least 4 skeins) to use by June 30.
