Any old (or new) wool?
I am collecting wool for Longsight's Bangladeshi Women's Organisation. They have an active group going that are knitting like mad and making lots of lovely things. They hope to make enough things to sell on Longsight Market so that they can raise funds for their centre and keep it going in these difficult times. The Centre provides a lifeline for many Bangladeshi women in the Longsight, Rusholme and Gorton area. The problem is and anyone who knits will know this, wool can be pretty expensive. However, most people who knit regularly have bags and bags of odds and ends and spare wool. So clean out your closet and donate the wool to a worthy cause. You can either drop any donations off directly at the centre on Dickenson Road in Longsight or email me and I can arrange to collect. Thanks in advance!
