Welcome
The Warm Hands Network partners with knitters, crochetters, corporate sponsors and Northern communities to provide warm hand-knit and crocheted clothing to families in the Canadian North. Our goal is to provide families with hand-knit clothing, which warms them through long winters, while also conveying the message that others wish them well.
We supply families in these communities with hats, mittens, neck warmers (no scarves please), socks, sweaters, vests and blankets. Our preference is for wool items and large sizes. See the Guidelines page for detailed information.
Half of our contributors are located outside of Canada and we always welcome more partners to our community. A downloadable brochure about our program is available at this link. (The brochure is in English and is formatted as a PDF.)
We were featured on CBC. To view the November 11th, 2014 CBC television coverage of our project, please click here. (The Warm Hands story begins approximately 10 minutes into the broadcast.) To listen to our audio interview with CBC radio, aired November 13th, 2014, please click here. To listen to a longer audio interview with CBC, please click here.
Due to the Covid outbreak shipping is on hold at the moment. Please hold onto your completed knit/crochet items for the time being until a new mailing date is shared. Thank-you for your understanding.
