Revived Yarn

We are a community of volunteers who knit and crochet for people affected by homelessness and poverty in Dublin.
Not accepting donations at present.

I hope to be back very soon and to be able to contribute in some other ways while I'm on a break from the work of collection and distribution.

All the best,
Elisabetta

Contact associations that may accept donations of finished items: The Capuchin Centre in Smithfield, Muslim Sisters of Eire, Dublin South City Partnership, etc.
I just want to thank you for contributing in the past years, we've been able to support so many people since 2017!

[Revived Yarn @revivedyarn]

There are still many ways you can contribute during this time!
Get in touch with local communities of crafters, the Dublin Knitwork and Community Centres are a good starting point to make new friends and make donations or exchanges of yarn.

I am no longer based in Rathmines and while I take time to create new links in my new neighbourhood, I will pause all collections and deliveries of donations until further notice.
Please, do not post any packages to our location in Rathmines as I'm no longer based there.

You may have noticed a lack of activity on social media and a delay in communications, I sincerely apologies for this.
Unfortunately, due to a mix of personal reasons and an unplanned change of residence I find myself unable to support Revived Yarn's activities at the moment.

Hello everyone, hope all of you had a fantastic summer. As the cold weather approaches, many of you have reached out to me to offer donations as our usual volunteering season starts late in September.

Hello everyone, unfortunately I have taken the difficult decision to end the collaboration of Revived Yarn with the ICHH. You can find the detailed announcement in the new blog post below.

Episode 4 of Revived Yarn Vlog is uploaded on our YouTube channel!
In today's VLOG video I am going to experiment with natural dyeing, using onion peels and turmeric powder to shift the color of a white yarn.

[Revived Yarn @revivedyarn]

Many of you have contacted me to ask how to donate knitted items and if it's possible to post. At the moment I don't have this option unfortunately, but I'm thinking of potential solutions. In the meantime please be safe, and keep knitting if you enjoy it. Hats and cowls mainly.

[Revived Yarn @revivedyarn]

We're taking a break this October and pausing the collection of donations until further communication, planning to be back in November! Keep up with the knitting and crochet, we'll need more supplies to distribute in December :)
Thank you all ❤
