Longest Scarf on the Longest Day

Create the Longest Scarf on the Longest Day!

Join Yarn Bits and Bobs, Nancy Sheleheda and Wiebke Kilbert in a heartfelt, community-wide project to support the Alzheimer’s Association during The Longest Day campaign.

Here’s how to take part:

You’ll have 48 hours between June 14–21 to knit or crochet as much as you can for our community scarf.

• Collect Pledges from Family & Friends
  Ask your loved ones to support your effort by pledging:

  • Per inch you complete

  • Per inch of the total scarf

  • Flat donation

  Pick up a pledge form at Yarn Bits and Bobs or download from the longest day event page on our website.

• Craft Your Contribution
  Your piece should measure 6 inches wide. After your 48-hour crafting window, bind off and drop off your section by 3 PM on Saturday, June 21 at Yarn Bits and Bobs.

• Celebrate with Us on June 21
  Join us in-store to craft socially! Bring your current WIP or help us sew the scarf sections together. Let’s connect, stitch by stitch.

Win a Prize Basket!

There will be two prize baskets awarded:

• One for the most pledges collected

• One for the most money raised

So rally your friends, family, and coworkers—it all goes to a great cause!

Shop for Good

June 20–21, Yarn Bits and Bobs will match donations up to 25% of all in-store and online sales, with proceeds going to the Alzheimer’s Association’s Longest Day campaign.

Every Stitch, Every Dollar Makes a Difference

Whether you’re crafting, donating, or shopping, you’re helping support the 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s and the 11 million caregivers who stand beside them.

Thank you for helping us stitch for change.
Together, we can outshine the darkness of Alzheimer’s.
