Westminster Fibers

For the last several months, CATsNAP volunteers have been busy at work on the 'knitting for kittens' project.  We've had several people donate their time and skills to make beds for the cats that are in foster care and in the cages at Petsmart.   Having warm, fluffy, homemade beds gives Petsmart a more inviting feel.  Those cold, stainless steel cages get really depressing to look at and must be uncomfortable for the cats.  I think it also lets potential parents who are visiting the center know that the animals are being taken care of when a volunteer isn't there.   

Imagine my surprise when the UPS guy dropped off a HUGE box courtesy of Westminster Fiber.  Westminster makes high quality yarns such as Rowan, Nashua and Shepherd.  

Here's the first bag - They were all nicely wrapped and came in wonderful, vibrant colors-

The donation included lots of wonderful wool yarns.  I'm thinking felted cat beds?
The ever-inquisitive Bear (who is still looking for a home) was the first to investigate.  

 I think he approves.  There's about 80 skeins of yarn donated to us.  This should keeps us busy for months.  If anyone is interested in picking some up, let me know and I'll get it to you.   

Thank you Westminster Fibers!
