I have 2 children that are having OT at Children's Mercy. Their therapist said they would benefit from having a weighted blanket. When I googled weighted blankets, I found your site. Do you sell your blankets or would I need to contact someone at the hospital? Thanks! Stephanie
Be sure to check your local Micheals, I hear that they have alot of yarn on clearance. While you are there sign up for a Micheals Rewards card and they will send you coupons via email!
PURCHASE VELCRO
You can purchase velcro by calling Touch Tape Inc. 904-823-1590 You will need to tell them you are purchasing it to use for Project Linus! The order numbers for 3/4 inch wide hook and loop are as follows:
01WT020HS25 01WT020LS25
One of these numbers is for the Hook and one for the Loop...you must order both and it comes in 25 foot rolls They charge me $8 to ship it and it is usually here in about 4 days.

I'm a wife to John, a mother of two grown children, Lindsey and Joseph and grandmother to Brayden, Jaxon, and Aubrie. I'm a quilter and crafter and I run the local chapter of Project Linus in Kansas City! I enjoy reading and scrapbooking when not quilting. Make a child who is ill or traumatized smile donate a handmade blanket to Project Linus!
