How are y'all doing...really?

Ya know, we all keep hearing the phrase "social distancing" used everywhere! Wanted to let y'all know that we are NOT social distancing around here! 
But, before you panic...😀⇛⇛⇛We ARE physically distancing!  Chairs are spaced, surfaces are sprayed and cleaned, etc.. 

     

BUT as for the “social” part? We are all in! We were never meant to live in a vacuum… our mental and emotional well-beings depend on our interaction with others… it feeds our souls!

SO!  How are you doing?… really.

🧶First, and foremost, need prayer? We gotcha! Send us your prayer request, or praise, and we will join you in prayer over your situation. Contact us

We firmly believe that Joy and Celebration are contagious, too! Our Lamb’s Loom family of friends is growing and we all miss the physical aspect of being together, but that doesn’t mean we have to lose contact all together. So, PLEASE jump in wherever and whenever you can…let’s stay knit together!

Let my passion for life be restored,

More To The Story

 You've heard us say it many times, "More than a yarn shop, we’re a ministry and a mindset!" and that does sum it up well. That’s our “slogan” here at the Lamb’s Loom! Now, it is true that we have a pretty cool yarn and gift shop and truly enjoy all the fun time in the Sit-n-Knit room, but there’s more to the yarn than soft fibers.

Every year The Lamb’s Loom collects donated knit and handmade items and then distributes them to people in need all over the world. The donation chest is at the heart of all we do. There are people who will receive their gift of warmth from deep South Texas (and we do have a lot of warmth to pass around!)  and that is a wonderful thing. In addition to that, we have learned in our years of doing this, that there is more to these stories. Wrapped inside that hat, or scarf is the care and love of the Maker. It is a gift of encouragement to those who need courage. It is a gift of prayers in every stitch for the recipient. These items that are given are the tangible gifts of caring for another.

At our Yarn Tasting this year we did our "big reveal" of the total number of items that were donated...

That is just over 1,000 more items than last year!!!!

Everyone is welcome to join us in the journey of spreading a little joy around our world. You don’t have to knit or crochet, either. The yarn and gift shop help fund this mission, along with your tax deductible donations.

We do hope you’ll come visit and hear a few stories of the encouragement these gifts have been to so many around the world and become a PEG! 

Pray, Encourage, Give 
….Remember, The Lamb’s Loom is not just a yarn shop, it’s a ministry and a mindset.

The Lamb’s Loom is located at 1102 Tamarack in McAllen. We are open Tuesday thru Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Additional parking is available in the rear via Upas Ave.You can also find us on FaceBook or Instagram.

Yarn Tasting Kickoff 2020

Come celebrate with us as we kick off another great year at The Lamb’s Loom! Your generosity over the last year is what encourages us all in the mission efforts here. In 2018 we surpassed the donations received by over 1000, so that means over 3200 handmade knitted & crocheted items were given to those in need in 2018! We do want to extend a special thank you to everyone who comes in and adds so many lovely items to the donations chest! You are a blessing to soooo many!!!!

 We are excited to see what this year holds and grateful for your participation in what is ahead. Our 2020 kickoff is our Sixth Annual Yarn Tasting when we will announce the final donation chest count of 2019. If you’ve never been to our Yarn Tasting, you really should join us on Saturday, January 11th! Every year promises new yarns to try, fantastic people to share with, classes to sign up for and yummy food. And let’s not forget the door prizes and drawings!

 This year’s Yarn Tasting will be held on Saturday, January 11th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., so mark your calendar!

Summer Vacation = Birthday Preparation 😀🎂😀


See y'all in August for birthday presents, drawings and more surprises!

Well, it seems the "spring" weather here has already sprung us forward into summer, so we are all chillin' in the Sit-n-Knit area and you're welcome to join us anytime...we would love to have you!

AND we want you to meet our new Donation Coordinators, Deb and Peggy. They will be working closely with everyone to help facilitate our growing donation chest! Last year your donated items went to 12 different organizations all around the world...PLUS the items that were given locally to family,  friends and neighbors!
As your donations continue to pour in and overflow the donation chest, we want to say...THANK YOU! 
Our next two shipments are coming up, if you have anything you would like to add. 

1~~~ a mission trip to Kenya. We are supplying hats for all the kids in the village! That's right around 200 darling children. The request is for bright and fun colors! 
2~~~ ongoing donations of shawls and scarves to be sent to China with Peggy & Jon with Global Partners in Hope.

We have also a few new yarns and colors coming for the summer months! (sneak peek!) New items arriving often, so hope you'll come enjoy a little time here with us!



Thanks again for all YOU do to help make this ministry possible....we are blessed to be a blessing!
