Your Extra Yarn can bring a smile to a Child!
The Children's Treatment Center in Albuquerque is asking for donations of yarn and supplies to make Loom Kits for the kids at the center.
If you have extra yarn or supplies that you can donate, please contact Colleen Szabo at 681-7390. You can also stop by Village Wools and drop off donations for the center, which we will then forward to the center. (please make certain that the yarn is moth and contaminant free).
