Sometimes I toss the in washer if I think they really need it. Washing also softens up the acrylic yarn, some is more stiff than others. I don't know how things are distributed at the hospital. Our donations don't go to the hospitals, they go to homeless shelters, and to those living under bridges and in the woods etc. Those not at shelters are hand delivered by a friend of mine Rae, who prepares hot meals for them as well. Hope that answers your questions. There's lots of additional information in the who we help tab that you might find helpful.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538334659901064721.post-48039998797061770712016-03-20T09:34:56.408-04:002016-03-20T09:34:56.408-04:00Hello Sandy,
The members of my community knitting/...Hello Sandy,<br />The members of my community knitting/crocheting group are working on blankets and hats to donate to the children of a local Children's Hospital. I live in NJ. Although charity knitting is something I have wanted to do for a long time, this is the first time I have done it. My first contribution was a crocheted blanket. I have a knitted one completed and am working on my third. <br />I am curious about how donations are distributed. <br />I know that the things we are contributing will definitely be brought to the appropriate person at the hospital. But I am curious about what happens after that. <br />Also, I am using 100% acrylic yarn. Would you suggest that I wash the items before donating?<br />Thanks for considering my questions. lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538334659901064721.post-56676361762183741892016-03-19T20:01:53.789-04:002016-03-19T20:01:53.789-04:00Wonderful Dusty Rose!
