Kitting knerds logo yarn ball recycling

Destashing? Decluttering?Downsizing? Let us help.

Let's get that yarn into the right hands. Crafty hands.

If you have yarn to donate, please consider us. We take it all unloved, previously loved, tangled heaps, tiny remnants, a sweaters'-worth of balls from 1982  pretty much all. Just email us and we'll come and pick it up.

And we wind it, swift it, skein it, cake it, measure it, weigh it, have a guess at fibre content (sometimes we light a bit on fire!), figure out washing instructions, whisper sweet nothings to it, smell it, give it a name (mauve! dirty pink! dusty rose!) and think of a couple projects it could become.

Anything we don't think we can sell we will donate to the yarn libraries around town.

If you have yarn to donate, send us an email: [email protected] and we will come and pick it up.

Email Us!

This is how we do it.

What will you make today?


We specialize in rescuing yarn – upcycling it from the back of the cupboard so it doesn't become landfill.

The Knitting Knerds Yarn Rescue concept is similar to an old-fashioned used bookstore. We source our yarn from estate sales, FB marketplace, craigslist, thrift stores, and donations. Accepting donations from the community to recycle the yarn and rehome it, keeping it out of the landfill and bringing it all together in a community yarn space.


If you have yarn to donate, send us an email: [email protected] and we will come and pick it up.
