Summer Stash Bash Is Here: Turn Your Yarn Stash Into Kindness

Welcome back to The Crochet Stitch, the weekly crochet podcast from Yarn Over Hook, the global home of crochet.View the Newsletter: Summer Stash Bash Is Here: Turn Your Yarn Stash Into Kindness 🧼This week, we’re kicking off something especially meaningful: the 2026 Summer Stash Bash, a Yarn Over Hook community crochet challenge in partnership with S.A.C.K., which stands for Supporting A Community with Kindness. Together, we’re inviting crocheters to turn yarn from their stashes into handmade comfort, practical care, and global goodwill. In this episode, we share how Summer Stash Bash supports S.A.C.K.’s mission to provide essential toiletries to underserved communities. Many people cannot use government assistance programs like SNAP to purchase hygiene products, which makes donations like soap, shampoo, and other toiletries especially meaningful. The goal for this year’s challenge is simple and powerful: help the Yarn Over Hook community crochet and donate 1,000 soap sacks worldwide. Each soap sack should include a bar of soap, turning a handmade crochet project into a practical care item for someone who needs it. We also preview this week’s Yarn Over Hook livestream schedule, including Crochet & Chat with the Checkered Tote by MitchesGetStitchesUS, Stitches! with another round of Just Get the Pattern, a members-only Rosa Tee session by Lola Crochets, and Square Up Saturday with crochet charts and granny squares. Plus, we celebrate the official launch of The Crochet Stitch Podcast, the new weekly audio companion to The Stitch newsletter. Each week, Sammi Jai will bring you a quick audio version featuring Yarn Over Hook updates, upcoming livestreams, crochet events, community highlights, featured resources, and simple ways to create, learn, and connect. Whether you’re joining a livestream, starting your first soap sack, catching a replay, or listening while you crochet through your latest WIP, we’re so glad you’re here.Grab your hook and join us.Yarn Over Hook helps crocheters create, learn, and connect.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 LINKS & RESOURCESExplore Yarn Over Hook 🧶 https://yarnoverhook.com/start-here📅 Explore Crochet Events https://crochetevents.com 📬 Subscribe to The Stitch Newsletterhttps://yarnoverhook.com/the-stitch-newsletter/Play Name That Stitch 🎮 https://namethatstitch.comWatch on YouTube 📹https://youtube.com/@YarnOverHookSocial━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT YARN OVER HOOKYarn Over Hook is the global home of crochet — a platform built to help crocheters create, learn, and connect through tutorials, podcasts, livestreams, events, stitch libraries, crochet games, and community resources.Built by makers, for makers. 🧶🌍 https://yarnoverhook.com/aboutThe Crochet Stitch is a weekly crochet podcast hosted by Sammi Jai and produced by Yarn Over Hook.© 2026 DesignOps as a Service DOaaS LLC d/b/a Yarn Over Hook.
