The Magic Yarn Project

We are the original 501(c)3 non-profit organization that creates soft, whimsical yarn wigs for children battling cancer.
(336)

To learn more about our project and how you can get involved please visit our website: www.themagicyarnproject.com. The Magic Yarn Project is the original and largest volunteer-run non-profit organization that makes and sends whimsical princess yarn wigs and superhero beanies free of charge to children around the world who are battling cancer. Chemotherapy treatments often leave skin too tender an

d sensitive to tolerate wearing traditional wigs, but Magic Yarn wigs are soft and giggle-inducing and invite children back into the world of imagination and play during a very difficult time. Please join us on our mission to bring magic to children battling cancer and to inspire volunteerism to help make a difference.

💜 Thank you, Canton, CT LDS Youth! 💜

We are so grateful for these amazing youth who spent time preparing materials for our Boston chapter of The Magic Yarn Project! They cut yarn to create wig hair and decorated the special envelopes that will accompany each wig and beanie.

Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, and hearts of service to help bring smiles and a little magic to children battling cancer! ✨

“My daughter is 8 and finally ringing the bell this week after 15 months of fighting neuroblastoma! I found this Elsa wig in our Ronald McDonald family room at Primary Children's Hospital in SLC. What a fun gift to find during her days leading up to the bell ringing celebration!” 💛💜

The magic is in the details. 💜

From the perfect braid to the ribbons and flowers, every finishing touch helps transform a handmade wig into a beloved character. Here, cosmetology students at The Salon at Lucia Mar are putting the final details on a Rapunzel wig, making sure every accessory feels just right.

Because these aren’t just wigs—they’re magical moments waiting to happen. And it’s the little details that bring the magic to life. ✨

Did you know play is a critical part of emotional healing for children?

When a child puts on a yarn wig, they're not thinking about hospitals or treatments-they're imagining adventures, stories, and possibilities.

Play helps kids cope.
Imagination helps kids heal.

✨That's the magic we believe in.
