**Join our and knock out some knockers for a chance to win amazing prizes!**
There are over 100K mastectomies in the US Canada each year. Prosthetics are expensive, hot and heavy, requiring a special bra; Knitted Knockers are soft, lightweight and huggable, no special bra required. As of July 2023, 560,000 hand-knit/crochet breast prostheses have been given to women FREE, thanks to Knitted Knockers.
To make & donate breast prosthetics, you must use a special yarn from a pre-approved list. This is to ensure that it's been tried and tested to not irritate sensitive post-surgery skin. We've put together this Knitted Knockers kit, that has everything you need to knock out some knockers. $12CAD/$10USD of the sale of each kit will go to the Knitted Knockers organization.
Ultra Pima by Cascade Yarns are volunteer favorites because they're 100% pima cotton, don't split, washable, soft and affordable. After many washings (machine washable) they're still soft and comfortable. You can knit or crochet up to 3 Knockers per kit (depending on the size).
