Whether you are a crocheter or a knitter, you can make an Impact with Michigan Fine Yarns through our partnership with Knitted Knockers!

Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional breast prosthetics can be hot, heavy, and sticky. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable, and beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are adjustable, and washable, and can even be worn while swimming. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them. Patterns and tutorials can be found here.
Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine is the sibling of Ultra Pima and also the perfect yarn for summer knitting and crocheting. This lightweight, machine-washable yarn is a great choice for baby and children's projects, as well as for those with skin sensitivities! Super soft, and easy to care for, this is a yarn to add to the stash for sure!
