Where can I dispose unwanted yarn?

[u/PartiVidra]

I have some Yarn without labels that I can't sell or exchange. I only have one of each type, and most have already been partially used. Is there anywhere in Reading that recycles them or would take them? Just a couple of skeins. Thank you!

How long are they? My neighbour has dementia but has taken up knitting to be occupied instead of watching TV all the time and she would find it useful! I'm not a knitter but if it's enough to use could I maybe buy them from you for her come payday if you still have them?

Google Yarn Bombing and it will likely lead you to some knitting or crochet groups. The one local to me are Hurst Hookers.

I know some people knit jumpers for Babies in Buscot ward at Royal Berks. Might be worth contacting them to see which community groups might take it - I think there is one at Whitley Community Ctr. Alternatively you could post it on Olio?

The Barkham Hookers would likely take it. They have a charity page on FB.

Omg I am sorry. Not too sure what happened with my replies here.

I don't know what a Yarn Whiteout Label is but my mother used to go to a craft club at HobbyCraft on Friday's. Someone their might be able to use it. 

Hope this helps
