2025 Cancer Awareness Series

At Olive & Two Ewe Studios, we believe in the power of community, creativity, and compassion. That’s why, throughout 2025, we are proud to introduce our Cancer Awareness Series—a heartfelt initiative to increase awareness, provide support, and raise funds for cancer research and resources.

What Is the Cancer Awareness Series?

Each month, we will release a special, hand-dyed colorway (or colorways) inspired by the American Cancer Society's Calendar of Cancer Awareness. Each colorway will spotlight a specific cancer, helping to shine a light on its unique challenges and the vital work being done to fight it.

Supporting the Cause

For every purchase, 25% of the profits will be donated to a foundation that supports the highlighted cancer for that month. Together, we can craft hope and make a difference, one stitch at a time.

What’s Included?

Each 100-gram hank purchased as part of this series includes:

A coordinating cancer ribbon stitch marker lovingly crafted by TwinMommy Creations.
A collectible card with meaningful details about the featured cancer.
A QR code linking to an information page on our website, providing additional resources, education, and ways to support the cause.

Additionally, 20-gram minis will be available in these exclusive colorways. These minis will be sold individually and do not include the stitch marker or card, making them perfect for smaller projects or adding pops of color to your work.

How You Can Help

By purchasing a skein or mini from the Cancer Awareness Series, you’re not just creating beautiful projects—you’re also joining us in spreading awareness and contributing to the fight against cancer.

Together, we can knit together a tapestry of hope, strength, and support.

January: Cervical Cancer Awareness Month

The purpose of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month is to increase public awareness and understanding of cervical cancer, its causes, and the importance of early detection and HPV vaccination.

Each year in January, the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) and the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) work with local chapters to educate people and raise awareness about cervical health.

Cervical cancer begins when cancerous cells form in the lining of the cervix. Without treatment, cervical cancer can spread to surrounding areas in the pelvis or other body parts.

Anyone with a cervix can develop cervical cancer, which kills more than 4,000 females in the United States annually. Of all cervical cancers, 93% are preventable with screening and vaccination against HPV infection.

In the early stages of cervical cancer, a person may experience no symptoms at all.

As a result, women should have regular cervical smear tests, or Pap tests.

A Pap test is preventive. It aims not to detect cancer but to reveal any cell changes that indicate the possible development of cancer so that a person can take early action to treat it.

The most common symptoms of cervical cancer are:

bleeding between periods
bleeding after sexual intercourse
bleeding in post-menopausal women
discomfort during sexual intercourse
vaginal discharge with a strong odor
vaginal discharge tinged with blood
pelvic pain

By understanding the causes and risk factors people can take steps to lower their risk of developing cervical cancer. They can also learn how to recognize the symptoms and seek support.

Awareness months are also a good opportunity for people affected by cervical cancer to share information and resources with friends and family. People may cope better with the disease if the public and close community around them understand the condition.
