Our Mission
We believe every woman deserves access to this simple gift of comfort and dignity. The need is greater than any one group can meet alone — but when individuals and communities each care for the survivors in their own counties, together we can reach every woman who needs us.
What is a knitted knocker?
A knitted knocker is a soft, handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional silicone prosthetics can be hot, heavy, and sticky — and many can’t be worn until weeks after surgery.
Knitted knockers are different. Placed in a regular bra, they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They’re lightweight, adjustable, washable — they can even go swimming with you. Each one is handmade with love by a volunteer knitter or crocheter, and every knocker is completely free to any woman who needs one.
A caring community, around the world

💗 One idea. One beautiful blanket. 165 women touched by kindness.
We love stories like this! What began as a creative way to use leftover yarn turned into a beautiful fundraiser, thanks to Susan Valverde’s generous $300 winning bid and a wonderful community of knitters, crocheters, and supporters.
The result? 165 Knitted Knockers, made with love and ready to bring comfort and dignity to local women undergoing breast cancer treatment!
A heartfelt thank-you to Susan, everyone who contributed, the talented volunteers who made the Knockers, and The Lamb’s Loom partners who are helping get them into the hands of women who need them.
This is what happens when creativity, generosity, and community come together to make a difference.
The power of people helping people! 💗

🧶 What’s on your needles this month?💗
A cozy scarf? A holiday gift? A project you’ve been wanting to try? Or perhaps something a little more meaningful?
For our Knitted Knockers volunteers, every stitch is an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. A Knocker may be small, but the comfort, confidence, and care it represents can mean so much to a woman after breast surgery. 🩷
Whether you knit, crochet, or are just discovering the joy of making something by hand, we'd love to hear what you're working on!
💕 Tell us in the comments: What are you making this month?
And if you have a little room on your needles or hook, consider making a Knocker, too. Someone out there would be so grateful! 🫶🏼
