Look what Hubby brought home from work yesterday. A colleague knows that I knit and brought in all this lovely wool for me. Most of it is acrylic double knit which is exactly what I use. Believe it or not, the charities that I knit for usually request acrylic because it is easier to wash.
Most of this is destined to be turned into blankets and clothes for children and babies. My friend, who knits like a demon for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, will also receive her share. If you see two "ladies who lunch" drooling over a bag of wool next month, that will be us!
Today is a brilliant sunny day. So, while we still have daylight, I'm off to sort the colours. Bliss!
I see some handsome blankets in that pile.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I had a new haul last week too! Mostly boy colours but my girls are not very girly anyway. happy knitting. Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat! You'll be able to knit lots of charity items from the looks of the size of that stack of yarn. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely bunch of yarn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely donation. I'm sure you will have fun choosing what will go with what.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely I would love to play with that, enjoy the sorting and deciding what do do with it all. :) x
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice that he brought the yarn for you and his colleague is kind enough to give it to you. Hope you have fun knitting, it's great you knit so much for charity!

Crafting people are so generous, knitters always have some odd balls going spare to give to a good home.
