Tip Of The Month
If you're wondering what size blanket to make next, we've been short on tied fleece blankets (that's approximately 40"x50") for a couple months now and we could use more of that size, as we put a variety of sizes and types of blankets in the bags we distribute and we need sizes for all age groups (0-18 years) in most of the bags. For our knitters and crocheters, please remember only use acrylic yarn less than 6 ply (otherwise the blankets are too bulky to handle and distribute.) Thank you!

Unfortunately, we cannot accept blankets made with the "Make it Give it" fleece sold at JoAnn's as it is not as durable as their standard fleece. We want our blankets to last through years and years of snuggling and hugging. Thank you for your understanding and support.
