Celebrating 1,000,000 Knitted Knockers: A Milestone of Compassion and Craft

At Apple Yarns, we believe in the power of yarn to make a difference. There’s no better example than our favorite local nonprofit, KnittedKnockers.org. This month we are celebrating 1,000,000 handknit and crocheted breast prostheses lovingly made by knitters and crocheters around the world—all at no cost.

We are proud to say that Apple Yarns is more than just an online yarn shop; we are deeply committed to supporting meaningful causes through fiber arts. As a long-time sponsor of Knitted Knockers, we’ve been honored to be the official mailing address for this nonprofit right here in Bellingham, Washington. Andrea Evans, co-owner of Apple Yarns, serves on the Board of Directors, helping guide the mission of comfort, dignity, and support for women after mastectomy.

Thank you to all the volunteers!
