In stressful times, we turn to our craft for comfort. Brooklyn Tweed’s Apart Together initiatives enable customers to make a difference with their yarn purchases and support communities in need.
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as businesses of all kinds prepared to shutter their doors to keep employees and customers safe, the Brooklyn Tweed team looked for a way that we could aid our interconnected community of stockists, makers and designers. Facing our own office lockdown and with no time to hesitate, our small team imagined, innovated, and launched Brooklyn Tweed: Apart Together in the course of a single afternoon. The response was astonishing. In just two months, our customers helped us to provide more than $320,000 in aid to over 100 local yarn stores, keeping lights on, shelves stocked, and employees paid.
Since then, Apart Together has helped to support independent knitwear designers, local communities impacted by natural disasters, at-risk LGBTQIA2S+ youth, and Black farmers and land stewards in Oregon. Together, we have the ability to change the world — one stitch at a time.
