With all our visitors from around the world, we've always wanted to make sure we weren't all spreading anything more than 

#YarnFun around here! 

So, please know we're still at it. 

AND We have added a Sanitation Station for everyone to use upon entry to the shop.🧶🧶🧶

Thank y'all again for the pics that you're sharing and the encouraging words to each other!!!! #stitchitforward 💖

#storytime

Meet the newest member of The Lamb's Loom Family!!! 💖

What a fun story of friends this little one has to share...SO, let's get started...







Over the last year we have collected bags of premie hats, many more than we could distribute. This happens because, as we teach our "learn to" classes, many people opt for the smallest hat for the class. Which is great! It helps them learn the techniques needed in a timely way. What does happen tho', is a disproportionate number of premie/doll hats coming in during some years.

WELL, this year Ann came up with a fantastic idea!!! The Lamb's Loom Swaddle Baby Doll pattern. (Crochet pattern currently available...knit & loom knit on the way!)  We are putting together kits for these adorable dolls to be created by you! 

Here's how it goes:

🧶Call and purchase a kit for $20. (each kit makes 2 dolls)

🧶You can specify girl or boy colors and we will select hats and yarns to match! 

🧶We will send it out to you.
🧶You're welcome to keep the dolls for the children in your life...
🧶OR send it back to The Lamb's Loom to be added to the Donation Chest, and they will be sent to one of the several orphanages we serve.

THAT'S IT!

We are currently accepting orders over the phone, Tuesday thru Thursday noon to 3 p.m. and mailing out on Fridays. AND now, in addition to CC over the phone, we accept CashApp and PayPal.

We are forever grateful to everyone who is contributing in so many ways to keep this ministry going strong!!!! You all bring new meaning to #stitchitforward 💖

"Winter" Time at The Lamb's Loom

What a fun “winter” we are having! 

Everyone is enjoying seeing our returning friends and making new ones. And, as always, the classes are a favorite time for all!

Y’all know we just couldn’t do what we do without all of our Winter Texan friends. Their encouragement, laughs and hugs brighten our days when they are “home” in Texas. So many have now joined our ministry and given of their time and talents and we are so very grateful!  And don’t forget all the lovely items added to our donation chest! 

Last year’s donation chest total was over 4300 items. We are half way through February and we’re already over 700 items donated in 2020. What a blessing these lovingly created, handmade gifts will be to so many people around the world. These items that are given are the tangible gifts of caring for another.

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. Our gift shop, The BaaBaa Boutique, helps fund this mission, along with your tax deductible donations!

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.

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
