The Zero Waste Festival is a non-for-profit and completely volunteer-run event that aims to help visitors to transition to a more sustainable, minimal-impact and Zero Waste lifestyle.
Revived Yarn will be present with an info stand to promote the activities in support to people affected by homelessness in Dublin.
There will be two meetups to knit and crochet together from 3pm to 5 pm. Choose a pattern of preference from the selection available on our website and bring your own needles. Yarn will be provided at the events. Are you a beginner? Feel free to join and we’ll be happy to help!

Also this year we are partnering with Perfect Smile Dental Surgery to support their initiative in aid to people affected by homelessness. On the 7th of December 2019 the clinic and other locations in the inner city will be open to the homeless to offer them free care and services. As our personal contribution, we will donate on the day nice and cosy hats, cowls and mittens.
