Happy Pride! 🌈🧶🤍🩷🩵

This month (and every month), we show up with our hooks, our needles, and our whole hearts. At Knit the Rainbow, pride is not just a celebration, it is a practice. We knit warmth into the hands of LGBTQIA+ neighbors experiencing housing insecurity. We crochet community in our workshops for q***r youth. We resist systems that leave our people out in the cold, literally and figuratively.

So whether you are casting on your first stitch or you have been in the fiber arts game for decades, know that there is a seat at this table for you.

Knit. Crochet. Resist. Repeat. 🏳️‍🌈🧵

WOW! We are so proud to share that we distributed 11,300 handmade winter garments for unhoused and at-risk LGBTQ+ youth during the Winter 2025/2026 season.

We would like to give a big thank you to all
of our volunteers, yarn shops/small business drop off locations, and donors! NONE of this would be possible without your continued dedication and support!

Together, we helped keep the youth of NYC, New Jersey, Chicago, and Detroit warm during a particularly harsh winter, with over a week of sub-freezing temps in January. This year, your garments really made a difference.

We are thankful for each and every donation, whether it’s one garment donation or 100, your contribution matters! We hope everyone has a lovely summer, and keep an eye out to see when we will start taking donations again in the Fall.

KtR friends and family, it has come to that time of year where we have to announce the closing of our garment collection period for this winter season! Thank you so much for the amazing work you all have done to send us thousands of handmade knit and crochet winter wear. We have already had three distribution days and will schedule one more before Spring!

If you have any donations you were waiting to send us, please do so by February 15th. Otherwise, we ask that you hold onto your donations, continue crafting more, and send us a box in the Fall!

This is a hard deadline as KtR will be moving locations in early March so please do not continue shipping after February 15th.

It’s Giving Tuesday and LGBTQ+ youth need your support this winter more than ever before.

Today, there are at least 550,000 homeless LGBTQ+ youth and young adults as young as 12 years old living in the United States. Our mission at KtR is to provide them with life-saving warmth, love, and compassion. We cannot do that without your help.

Can we count on your support today? Visit the link in our bio or text GIVE to 844-741-1569 to donate now.

We are thrilled to announce that we received a grant from and which allowed us to teach beginner crochet workshops for 30 unhoused and at-risk LGBTQ+ youth this Fall at two of our partner organizations: and

It has been so exciting to be able to positively impact the youth while teaching a valuable skill that we all love. We are so thankful to our skilled NYC teachers who stepped up to provide engaging, fun, and thoughtful workshops for youth at two of our partner organizations.

Also, a HUGE shoutout to who provided us with free yarn for the classes. We are so thankful for their continued support each year for our Pride booth and yarn needs!

We hope to continue offering introductory knit and crochet classes for the youth we serve with your support!
