Finally, could I kindly ask you all if you have any spare wool lying around at home you would be prepared to donate to our residents? We have a small group of ladies that do knit but are getting through the wool we have. We are also looking for white wool for making ‘pom poms’ for Christmas so any white wool would also be appreciated. However, any wool you can spare would be most gratefully received! Please drop off at Woodlands or bring when you visit.
Thank You so much in advance!
