Tom and Linda Diak, owners of DyakCraft LLC of Chester, have donated $1,500 to the Chester-Andover Family Center following their recent sale of special sets of their hand-crafted knitting needles.

Twenty percent of the proceeds from these sets was earmarked for the Chester-Andover Family Center. According the Diaks, customers from all over the world responded, from Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, Taiwan and across the United States.

DyakCraft wood needles are hand-turned by Tom Diak, with cases, cables and stops crafted by Linda Diak.

“Combined with our Giving Day promo two years ago, our customers have been responsible for $3,500 in donations to CAFC. Our customers are pretty amazing,” says Linda Diak.
