Yarn Forward Token

Description

We have always had a policy of offering free and unlimited advice and support to knitters, regardless of what you're knitting or where you bought your wool and pattern from. Occasionally we are asked if we will take payment for the help we give, to which the answer is always no, as we see this service as a fundamental part of the spirit of the shop. We would no sooner charge for helping you with a dropped stitch as we would for looking around the shop.

At the same time we understand the impulse that knitters have, to reciprocate and share with other knitters. So when our neighbours, the booksellers Pages of Hackney, started their PAY IT FORWARD project to support low/no income readers with the cost of buying books, we thought that this would be a great model for knitters, both to share and pass on help they have received, with other knitters.

How to Use Yarn Forward Tokens

Any knitter on a low/no income. who needs help to meet the cost of their supplies, is welcome to take a token from the board and use it towards whatever they are buying from the shop. The tokens are right next to the till. There is no need to ask or explain.

Whilst it is possible to purchase Yarn Forward tokens online, it is not possible at this stage to spend them online. They can only be used by knitters and crocheters who visit the shop in person.
