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!!!

Please join us in welcoming our Shepherds!

We are sooooo excited to introduce to you the Lamb's Loom Shepherds! As we begin our THIRD YEAR, these lovely ladies have volunteered to help you in the shop or Sit-n-Knit Room. Thankfully, things are growing and more items are being added to the shop all the time, so as we grow we hope to add to the FUN and enjoyment of everyone that comes in. 

Our heartfelt thanks also goes to all the people who keep bringing in yarn to our Donation Station! This yarn is being used to make lots of different items that are then donated to so many people here at home and across the world. 

YOU ALL help make this possible, thank you!!!

GREAT KNEWS!!

Our first order of Lion Brand Yarn arrived today!!!! 

We will have it all unpacked and ready for you tomorrow!

 

 

 

 

And yesterday we signed up another young lady for consignment. She brought in three beautifully crocheted items and said she would be bringing in more. Welcome Abby Pepin!

We will be shipping out prayer shawls to Peggy tomorrow for the October China trip. Appreciate all your prayers for whatever God has planned on this trip for everyone! Depending on internet, etc. Peggy tries to post on their blog, so you can follow them here:

We all love to have cool shops open....but, unless there is food involved, people do not quickly change their pattern and dash over to support them. It is great to love the thought of having a yarn shop, or used book store, or art gallery in the neighborhood, but getting over to it is a whole nother story.
We really do appreciate all the support and help in getting things started here and getting the word out! 

Again, thanks SO MUCH for joining with us in this journey!

More People Stuff, please

“What is The Lamb’s Loom?”….well, we hear that a lot.  

​

Perhaps it would help to start with what we’re not!

What we know is, we’re not a fancy yarn shop.

Our heart is set on being about the people, not the process.

{Here is the sweet girl who was given the frog hat
up in the mountains of Durango, Mexico.}

Whether it is a connection made sitting with each other in the KnitWit room, or the love someone half way around the world feels when they receive a prayer shawl…above all, we’re about the people.

The shop in the Lamb’s Loom is helping to provide the resources to do more “people” stuff! 

There are lovely handcrafted gifts and furniture for sale AND YARN!!! The selection and prices are great…a little something for everyone.

The KnitWit room is available any time you’d like to come by for a few peaceful minutes. 

Even if you don’t knit, there’s always a chair for you at The Lamb’s Loom!

And so we begin!

WOW!!! There is so much to tell and share...where to start? I think Ann said it best to a friend the other day, so we'll just start there. :)

My friend Jeanie and I are in the process of forming a 501C3 non-profit ministry in connection with our KnitWit group.  I have had a desire placed upon my heart many years ago by the Lord to use my talents and abilities for Him in a creative way.  I tried a few times to "do it on my own" and ran ahead of Him and His plan.  Always He closed the doors because I did not wait on Him.  After giving up several times, but never losing the dream, I believe the time is now.

Jeanie and I share the same mindset.  We have been blessed with a location for a learning/meeting room, as well as, a room for a shop to help with funding.  Our facility would be used by the KnitWits, book clubs, bible study groups, classes, etc.  Our shop space would be all handmade items sold on consignment with the profits put back into the shop and paying for our mission expenses of making the prayer shawls and hats and shipping them all over the world.

The name of our shop/organization:

The Lamb's Loom 

Our Slogan:

Praying for the world, one stitch at a time.

Our mission statement:

The Lamb’s Loom is an evangelical prayer ministry that instructs people in the craft of loom knitting and other fiber arts, in order to encourage their personal growth in Christ and enabling them to develop a habit of serving others less fortunate by sharing the love of Christ through the giving of personally crafted items to Christian missionaries in our local community and abroad.

There have been soooo many wonderful things happening in the last few weeks. We have been blessed to see God move all this at a pace that we could grasp and move into. One of them actually is the place we'll be moving into. Our friend Jacque has made space for us in part of her flower shop.Others have offered help in start up costs....and our friend Audrey has joined the board as our third! We are all soooo very excited as we move forward stitch by stitch!!!

GOD IS GOOD!!!!

 

And so, we begin! We believe in covering this work in prayer and we truly appreciate all of you who join us in doing just that! We will keep you updated on the progress of putting all this together. We have already had contact from so many who want to help or participate in this....THANK YOU!!!!

Prayers & Purls!!!

And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it. Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Col. 3:14 & 15
