Karin of The Periwinkle Sheep and I (Mama’s Teddy Bear) are running a fundraiser for our friend, a fiber artist, whose name we cannot disclose at the moment for safety reasons. They are going through a rough patch in their life and need our support to get back on their feet.
To help you understand the scale of support needed, they had to leave their home due to abuse and are now facing a custody battle for their child. They need help with rent, food, and essentials for their new home. Also, they need to replace all of the fiber, tools, and equipment so they can start working again.
How can you help?
Donate to our GoFundMe campaign
Buy yarn from our yarn destash
Buy yarn from The Periwinkle Sheep
Buy Ui Mitten Pattern on my website or on Ravelry

All proceeds (less shipping and transaction fees) from this fundraiser will go directly to our friend.
If you’d like to support this fundraiser but can’t spare any funds, you can help us by spreading the word about the fundraiser.
If you have some extra funds you’d like to donate, you can do so by going to either Ui Mittens Pattern or Jili Socks Pattern page and changing the price to an amount you’d like to donate (I have set the price as “Pay What You Want“ on my website starting from $5).
The fundraiser will run on January 6 - 13. We will announce the total amount raised by January 20.
Update:
Thank you everyone – you have helped us reach our fundraiser goal and surpass it! Together, we have raised $5328 in total for our friend in need.
