Office and school buildings, as well as the shelves at the local supermarket, are empty. We’re bumping elbows instead of shaking hands and keeping 1.5 meters apart. The phrase “I’m going to Skype with Grandpa Piet” has become part of our daily lives, and the term “workdays” has been replaced by “stay-at-home days.” There’s really no getting around it anymore—the coronavirus is among us. And as Prime Minister Rutte said last Monday, the virus isn’t going away anytime soon. Which means that, for the time being, the topic of the day will continue to be toilet paper.
Yarnplaza and Yarn and Colors
But it also means that we live in a time when actions speak louder than words. That’s why Yarnplaza and Yarn and Colors have joined forces to lend a helping hand to the Red Cross, together with you. From Monday, March 23, through April 28, we’ll donate 10% of the proceeds from all Yarn and Colors products and Kits that include Yarn and Colors to the Red Cross. Join us in knitting or crocheting to help fight the coronavirus!
The Red Cross in the Fight Against COVID-19
Thanks to all the initiatives and contributions the Red Cross receives, the organization is able to take action worldwide and provide assistance where needed. For example, the organization provides information about the coronavirus and how we can reduce the risk of infection. The Red Cross has also launched a helpline for all our vulnerable loved ones, so that they, too, can be heard at all times. In addition, the organization provides aid packages to people in quarantine and psychological support where needed.
Helping Hands
Through our wonderful hobby, we can help answer the question: “What can I do to protect myself and the people around me?” So, are you ready to start a new project? Turn these days at home into days of knitting, crocheting, punch needle work, and macramé, and choose a Yarn and Colors yarn. Need some inspiration? Then check out the Yarn and Colors kits. These kits include yarn, patterns, and all the Tools & Supplies you need to give your home or wardrobe a fresh new look during these somewhat gloomy days.
How about…
The Baby Fabulous for wonderfully soft blankets, the versatile Must-have for Amigurumi, or the Glamour for a sparkling finish to your project? Each of these yarns is available in many colors. This makes creating the right color combinations a breeze, allowing you to tailor your new project perfectly to your personal home and lifestyle. By giving each other some space, we also create room for fresh new ideas. Spring, for example, is just around the corner. And while you’ve already stocked up on Easter eggs—along with all the canned goods—and only the chocolate seafood platter remains within reach, decorating your home with Easter decorations is the perfect way to welcome spring indoors. The Easter Crochet Kit, filled with lovely Yarn and Colors yarns, is the perfect solution if that Easter vibe in your home isn’t quite on point yet.
Yarn and Colors yarns are also featured in our favorite blanket, the Dream Blanket. This means that when you, as a knitting and/or crocheting enthusiast, treat yourself to a Dream Blanket kit, you’re also showing your support for the Red Cross! So take a look at our online store and discover all the beautiful items Yarn and Colors has to offer. Turn these days at home into knitting and crocheting days and support the Red Cross. Join us in knitting or crocheting to help fight the coronavirus!
