Knot for You
helping those who need
Bring handmade items for charities!
Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival will be a collection point for all charitable knitting and crocheting. Craft your favorite items (baby hats, soldier hats, baby blankets, 6” squares, etc.) and bring them to SIFAF where we’ll take care of sending them off.
Items will be divided among charities accepting items brought from local to international. If you have specific organization recipients in mind simply mark that on a note attached to your item.

Bring 6" squares to be combined into scarves, lap or full size blankets. The combining (stitching together) will be done by volunteers.
Supplies?
We will also accept clean yarn donations for use in creating charitable projects.
** Use the site contact form if you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help with this project.
