Charlotte Yarn and the Levine Cancer Institute are partnering to supply Knitted and Crocheted Knockers to the Levine Cancer Institute
In October 2016, Charlotte Yarn partnered with the Levine Cancer Institute to help support Breast Cancer Awareness month, Charlotte Yarn and the Levine Cancer Institute brought awareness to the "Knitted Knockers" movement and how much it is needed for those recovering from breast cancer.
Even though Breast Cancer Awareness month has ended, we still encourage knitters and crocheters to help continue make Knitted Knockers. We will continue with this endeavor as long as there is a need.
Why is Charlotte Yarn involved?
Many of our customers have had personal experience with the devastating effects of breast cancer. We want to show our support for these women and many others who have had their lives greatly impacted by this disease. We want to help fill the ever increasing need for Knockers.
What are Knitted and Crocheted Knockers?
Knockers are soft, light weight breast prosthetics that are very comfortable for women who have undergone mastectomies, lumpectomies, radiation, and/or reconstruction,
Why do we need your help?
Knockers are desperately needed at the Levine Cancer Institute. We are asking for your help in knitting or crocheting one or as many as you want and then donating them to the Levine Cancer Institute.
Please help us spread the word about about our cause by telling your knitting and crochet friends.
How do I get started?
Please go to the www.knittedknockers.org website to read about yarn requirements and to print out the pattern for the knit or crochet knockers. When you are finished with a knocker, you do not have to stuff them with PolyFiberFil if you do not want to. Charlotte Yarn and the Levine Cancer Institute will get them stuffed.
You can drop off your completed knockers to the Levine Cancer Institute or Charlotte Yarn.
