Knitting to Keep the Fleece

Although the mission of The Sheep Shack is to sell yarn, Team Sheep Shack is working to “Keep the Fleece.”

Keep the Fleece is a worldwide event designed to raise $250,000 for Heifer Project International by knitting the world’s longest scarf. Participants in Keep the Fleece are asked to make a donation based on the rows knitted or inches woven.

The money raised will be used by Heifer Project to purchase fleece-bearing animals for needy families all around the world. Heifer will also provide the families with the necessary training so that they can nurture and grow their herds and become self-sufficient.
