Support our Programs

Contribute to Project Knitwell and help us serve more parents of sick kids, cancer patients, nurses and other caregivers, those affected by homelessness, at-risk teens, refugees, and others for whom knitting can provide a wellness tool. You can help us to reach more individuals — in local hospitals, community organizations, schools, and other sites, as well as through our Knitwell in the Cloud virtual programs available worldwide. Your gift in any amount will help us purchase quality supplies, which are always provided free of charge to our participants.

Project Knitwell continues to expand our reach and receive more national recognition, through participation at Vogue Knitting Live and the National Organization for Arts in Health. We look forward to continuing to share our mission and expand on research related to knitting for wellness. Join us in bringing more visibility to knitting as a wellness tool and develop plans for research to prove the benefits scientifically!

Other Ways to Support Our Mission

In-kind donations:

We are grateful for donations of materials that support our mission. The materials that are most in need are the yarn and needles we use in our starter kits, which consist of Clover single point bamboo needles, size 8, 9" long and Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Yarn, in the colorway “Fisherman,” or another light color (easier for beginners to see the stitches!).  You can purchase these items at your local yarn store or online.  Please let us know at info@knitwell.org if you are going to send in materials. 

We accept additional donations for beginner knitters.  The materials that are most useful for our knitters are new, banded yarn that worsted weight or heavier; and bamboo needles that are size 8 or larger.  Our capacity to accept donations is dependent on the space we have available.  Please contact us at info@knitwell.org if you would like to make a donation – and include a picture of the materials, if possible.

 Thanks in advance for your support!

 Volunteer: Project Knitwell relies on volunteers to carry out its work. We have opportunities in knitting instruction both in-person and online, as well as administrative support, fundraising, social media, event planning, and proposal writing. Please visit our volunteer page for more information and indicate your areas of interest, and we will contact you when we have opportunities that match. We look forward to having you as part of our team!
