Where does Stay Cozy donate?
A portion of every Stay Cozy sale or an in-kind handmade item has recently been donated to the Catherine McAuley Center in Cedar Rapids, the Rally for Reid Foundation, the Prairie Foundation, and Waypoint. With each sale, we are staying cozy, creative, and kind. Thank you for making this possible with your purchases!

Below is an estimate for how many skeins are typically needed for some popular projects. These are just estimates and actual amounts will depend on the yarn, the project, and the creator.

Baby Boat - 5 skeins
Adult throw - 7-10 skeins

How do I connect multiple skeins?
When you purchase more than 1 skein of the same color yarn, we will connect it for you! We know you want to start creating as soon as possible, so we are happy to make it as easy as possible. However, if you create a project with different colors or choose to purchase skeins at different times, you can simply sew the ends of two skeins together. Here's a video to show you how: Connecting two skeins of tube yarn
