The Red Cross
Begins Use of Scrap Yarn
An appeal to Indianapolis Red Cross knitters who have scrap yarn to help in a new production pro= gram has been issued by Mrs. Frank Hoke, volunteer chairman of pro= auction. The national headquarters of the American Red Cross has assigned the local chapter a large quota of afghans for hospital equipment for the country’s armed forces. Three methods of helping in the program were suggested by Mrs. Hoke, The first is to use scrap yarn to produce completed afghans. These may be knitted or crocheted and must be four by six feet in size,
The second method suggested is for those with small amounts of yarn. This material may be knitted into six-inch squares and brought to the production center in the War Memorial, Squares made by ine dividuals will be assembled into completed afghans. Any color of yarn may be used and the squares should be made in plain pattern, Mrs. Hoke said. The third suggestion is that wome en who have scrap yarn and who cannot knit either complete afghans or squares should bring the yarn to the production center where it will be distributed to other knitters. Chairmen of the Red Cross knite ting units are urged by Mrs. Hoke to bring records up to date by getting in touch with all members of their units who have had yarn for three months or longer and ine structing them to turn in the come pleted garments at the earliest poss sible moment.
