Handmade Scarves To Warm The Heart


Buy a handmade scarf for you or as a gift for someone else! When you purchase a scarf, not only are you keeping you or someone else warm but you're helping an animal keep warm this winter as well! The profits go towards buying blankets and supplies for local animal shelters.

This year’s chosen shelter is Hampshire County Animal Control. I have an extra special spot in my heart for this shelter and the volunteers. It's an outdoor shelter with very little governmaent funding. The volunteers work long hours to insure that the animals are taken care of and that they quickly find good forever homes. They are located in West Virginia but bring many dogs to Frederick for special adoption events held at SuperPetz each month. Most importantly, it is where I adopted my furry child 2 years ago.

The turn around time for scarves is about a week. Each one is custom made, you decide on the look of your scarf! Width, length, color, type of yarn, style, the possibilities are endless! The minimum donation is $10 (of course, you can give more if you like). Add the cost of materials and that’s the cost of your scarf! Extras like fringe are only $1 per scarf! And felt cutout designs are only 50 cents per cutout!

100% of your donation goes directly to the shelter, either in the form of a check or as a box of supplies. With the proceeds from last year, I was able to donate 15 blankets and a check at the shelters winter adoption event at SuperPetz. This is an easy way to help make a difference!
