At The Lamb's Loom, we have ALWAYS had your health and safety in mind. Since the beginning, our Shepherds have sprayed the Sit-n-Knit room, light switches and doorknobs, among other cleaning things. 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 💖

Hi there #LambsLoomFun Friends!

Hope this finds y'all doing well ~ 
     Sheltered & Stitching! 

Want to let y'all know that we are here for you thru these crazy times. 


🧶 Always, know that we hold you in our hearts and pray for you daily. If you have a specific prayer request, you're welcome to email us at prayer@thelamsloom.com anytime.

🧶 We know many of you are working on projects, such as face coverings, and we applaud you all!!!! Want you to know we're here to help keep you in yarn and supplies.

🧶 Several yarn companies across the country have come together in support of local yarn shops across the country and we are sooooo grateful!!! They are offering free patterns IF you purchase the yarn from your own #lys 😃 ....that's us, btw


We will be taking orders to help keep you in supplies, based on what we have in stock (this changes daily) and then mailing them to your doorstep. SO, how does this work in our current situation? Easy-peasey!

1.  Call the shop 956-607-6855, Tuesday thru Thursday noon to 3 p.m. and place your order. 
2. Pay via card over the phone.
3. Packages will be sent out on Fridays. 

See? Easy-peasy!!! 
There will also be posts made about other patterns and yarn kits available, so call early and call often!  😍

We thank y'all ahead of time for your support of the mission here at The Lamb's Loom and for all your words of encouragement! 

YOU keep us going, as we all #stitchitforward THANK YOU!!!

"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

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!
