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...
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.
