Attention, Crafters! There is a desperate need in our area for adult hats, mittens, and gloves. As always, FLOCK will be accepting any donations, but would especially appreciate donations of adult items, as area charities appear to be well-stocked in children’s garments. You may drop off any donations here at Yarn Harbor. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
