2. Yarn Alive was born out of a desire to help women living in temporary housing as a result of the March 11, 2011 tsunami in Tohoku, Japan.

3. Yarn Alive has 40 women who meet in temporary housing Tuesday and Wednesday. They love gathering and knitting/crocheting with one another, learning from one another and being inspired by one another.

5. Did you know that giving people a project to do with their hands can help alleviate depression and anxiety? Well we have seen it with our own eyes! So many women have found healing through the simple act of coming together and doing something with their hands which also stimulates the brain.
