From the Knitted Knockers website:
"Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to the breast. Traditional breast prosthetics are usually expensive, heavy, sweaty and uncomfortable. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can't be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers on the other hand are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. Our special volunteer knitters provide these free to those requesting them. Knitted knockers can be adjusted to fill the gap for breasts that are uneven and easily adapted for those going through reconstruction by simply removing some of the stuffing."

It's important that only approved yarns are used. We carry an assortment of approved yarns: Cotton Supreme DK, Ultra Pima, Cleo, Modern Cotton DK, and Bamboo Pop. .
We're a collection point for Knockers so you can drop off your finished Knockers (unstuffed preferred) any time.
