Lovely gives back to the community.
Lovelyarns is pleased to give back to the community by sponsoring several charity projects
The 500 Hats Project is a year-round effort; we encourage stitchers from all over to contribute hand-made hats which will warm the heads of elementary and middle-school children in a selected Baltimore City school or program each winter. We are very proud to partner with Warm Hearts Warm Hats: A Weekly Knitting Retreat on this fantastic project!
If you would like to participate in the 500 Hats Project, please knit or crochet a hat in any yarn, any style, any child-size and bring it or mail it to the shop! There is no deadline for hats as this is an annual project. We are happy to donate yarn if you do not have stash you would like to use.

Lovelyarns is proud to be partners with Knitted Knockers. We are accepting your completed unstuffed knockers and will happily send them on to those in need. We have yarn and patterns available at the shop!
Bryan's Blankets is a local non-profit organization that brings hand-stitched blankets to the men at the Helping Up Mission in Baltimore City in memory of Bryan Guiffre. This project was started by Bryan's family as a way to honor his memory by giving back to the community and to help other addicts on their road to recovery. Your crocheted and knitted blankets can be dropped off here at Lovelyarns and we are also happy to give you some of our donated yarn to use for your next charity project. Please feel free to contact us with any questions at 410-662-9276. You can follow Bryan's Blankets on Facebook and Instagram. You can learn more about the Helping Up Mission here.
