This job means the world to me. It gives me purpose and a reason to get out of bed and out of the house. It also helps me to turn my mental illness into something positive.
Scraps & Skeins is a creative reuse store which through the rescue and resale of sewing, knitting, quilting and other such materials supports Strawberry Fields’ programs. Our store mission is multi-faceted: to provide job development opportunities for men and women facing mental health challenges; to offer the community affordable creative materials beautifully arranged in an inviting shop, to offer an outlet for knitters and quilters to pass on overflow materials, to save reusable textiles from the landfill, and to promote the concept that reuse is beautiful!
The shop is located directly behind Strawberry Fields and is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and every 3rd Saturday of the month from 10am-2pm.
