Wool for knitting - does anyone have some to spare please?

Mary Anne from Taradale

Following our hugely successful knitting sale recently we find there is a real demand for warm handknitted garments for babies and children.
To help us meet this demand we need more wool for our amazing knitters to create these garments.
If anyone is able to donate either some spare wool or a donation for us to purchase precious baby wool, Red Cross would gratefully receive your contribution. These can be left with at our shop at Red Cross, 35 Cadbury Rd, Onekawa , between 10 and 4 Mon to Fri.
If you would like us to collect from you, then please phone the shop during those hours 843 0013. We appreciate your support. Thank you!
