Support a good cause with the Meow Collection yarn, formed by a partnership between Meow Foundation and Ancient Arts. This yarn collection draws its inspiration from cats, which is fitting as a portion of the proceeds goes to benefit stray and abandoned cats. With each skein of yarn, you’ll also receive a photo of the cat the yarn is based on. Charity and high quality yarn – what a delightful combination!
