Join Us in Making a Difference
There are many ways to support The Longest Yarn and help us continue our mission. Whether you buy items, create handmade pieces, donate through our fundraising page, or participate in our auctions, every contribution makes a difference. All funds raised go toward the logistics and running of our exhibitions, ensuring we can share these powerful stories with the world. Any surplus is donated to Veterans’ charities, so your support has an even greater impact. Thanks to your generous support, we’ve already teamed up with the Forces Veterans Afloat (FVA) to sponsor the restoration of a canal boat—a project that will further honour and support our Veterans.
Thank you for being part of our journey!

Donate Directly
Your financial contributions help us cover exhibition costs and support Veterans’ charities. Donate securely through our GoFundMe page.
Sponsor a panel
Our exhibitions feature knitted or crocheted panels, each depicting a unique event or story. These panels are enclosed in custom-built boxes, which protect them during transport and serve as the foundation for display. By sponsoring a panel, you can choose a story that resonates with you, and your support will cover the cost of the custom box. If you’re interested in sponsoring a panel, we’d love to hear from you!
Thank you for your support
From every book purchased to every donation made, your support is the thread that weaves our mission together. Thank you for honoring these stories and standing with our Veterans. Together, we’re creating something meaningful—one stitch, one story, at a time.
