Yarn Amnesty

Every year, Fuzzy Goat loads up a rented box truck and makes a 5-hour round trip to McRae Women's Facility in McRae–Helena, Georgia. We bring them something simple and powerful: your unwanted yarn.

It becomes holiday gifts for children. Blankets for first responders. Handmade pieces made with care and intention by women who need exactly what fiber arts gives all of us — focus, calm, and a sense of purpose.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Bring us your full or partial skeins of clean, unscented, unwanted yarn between May 22–31. Labels preferred. No partial projects please.

Donate at least 4 skeins and you'll receive $10 in Fuzzy $ to use by June 30. One exchange per household.

Shipping to us? Just tuck a note with your email address, city, state at the very top of your box — we'll email your coupon when it arrives.

Drop off in-store at 223 W Jackson St, Thomasville, GA, any time we're open, May 22–31.

WHY THIS MATTERS

We'll let Kristin tell you. She left this comment on our Facebook page and we've never forgotten it:

"I was incarcerated at Emmanuel Women's Facility for about a year, and I was on the crochet detail... I crocheted from around 8 in the morning until around 4:30 in the afternoon, sometimes teaching crochet classes of 20+ ladies. Prison is a VERY stressful place and my crochet detail — thanks to people like y'all donating yarn to make it happen — saved my sanity while I was there."

That's your yarn doing that.

THIS IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS WE DO.

From the truck rental to the team hours to hauling up to 60 boxes of your generosity — this event takes real resources and real heart. We do it because it's who we are. And we can't do it without you.

Together, one stitch at a time. ♻️🧶
