Wool activity evenings by Gründl – handicrafts for a good cause

The goal is to be creative together while generating the highest possible donation amount for social organizations.

Every single knitting evening is something very special. A group of dedicated people comes together by candlelight, with delicious food and good conversations, to knit, crochet, knot or craft while donating.

Many creative projects made from Gruendl wool create a magical, almost meditative atmosphere. The special feature: an experienced knitting designer from the Gruendl team supports participants from beginning to end and answers questions about handicrafts. Whether dropped stitches, changing yarn or decreases, she is there to help. So not only are donations collected diligently, participants also learn a great deal about wool and the varied world of handicrafts. In short: unforgettable moments with added value.

Before the Gruendl charity knitting evenings can begin, participants choose Gruendl yarns from a curated selection, along with a matching craft project.

Participants pay for these yarns, and Gruendl passes the entire proceeds on to one of the two donation funds. Donations are collected twice: first through the proceeds from the purchased yarns, which participants knit and crochet during the evenings, and then again during the charity events, where another donation box waits to be generously filled.

Handicrafts combined with donating bring joy. Not only because they can help many disadvantaged people, social institutions or animal welfare organizations, but also because you can spend a lovely time crafting with your loved ones. Why not try hosting a charitable wool evening yourself? You will find many free patterns for knitting, crochet and knotting, plus the matching yarn, at www.gruendl.com.

If you already donate through handicrafts or have supported social projects with wool, please let us know. We would be delighted to learn about your commitment.

All proceeds from Gruendl fundraising campaigns, including the charity knitting evenings, go 100% to the service organization Soroptimist International, of which Martina Gruendl has been a long-standing and committed member. From there, this year's donations are passed on to Inuka e. V. and Tafel Ingolstadt e. V.
