Each Thursday evening, the Woodburn branch of the Allen County Public Library is the destination of choice for those who knit or crochet. Those who participate in the Yarn Lovers group not only work on personal projects.
Throughout 2018, members made 68 scarves that will be donated in support of the 2019 Indiana Special Olympics. This is the most scarves the group has ever made for the Special Olympics since they began the project in 2011. The yarn colors were selected in collaboration with the theme of the Special Olympics Indiana’s 50th Anniversary. The scarves are given to the athletes, volunteers and supporters at the State Winter Games and the Polar Plunges.
If you would like to learn how to knit or crochet, members of the Yarn Lovers group can get you started and teach you new stitches. The Yarn Lovers program is held each Thursday night from 7:00 p.m. – 8:45 p.m. at the Woodburn branch, 4701 State Road 101 North, Woodburn. Registration is required.
