Have You Heard?

The Lamb’s Loom is privileged to now be a designated collection point for Knitted Knockers! We are so blessed to be a part of this work. Last year brought many changes and challenges, but it also brought time. One of the things we were able to work on and add to the many ministries we serve is the Knitted Knocker Organization. For those who haven't heard about Knitted Knockers (and crochet!), this is a wonderful organization dedicated to supplying breast prosthetics to women who have undergone mastectomies. 

Knitted and crocheted “knockers” are made by using an approved yarn, for comfort and fit purposes, and then stuffed with polyfil. These provide an option to the heavy, and very hot prosthetics they may currently be using. A Knitted Knocker is lighter weight and made with breathable fibers, so heat rash and other complications can be lessened.

We have a special basket in our donation area just for Knockers! Every month, or so we have a “stuffing party” and several friends gather to sort, stuff and prepare these to go out to a local clinic. Once there, women are aided by their medical team to be fit for just the right Knocker. 

As a recognized collection point for knockers, please help us to spread the word if anyone would like to join in this. We already have two more local clinics who would like to receive Knockers. Let's do this!
