Yak and Yarn: Powerhouse for the Poor
Our Thursday evening Yak & Yarn Group has been more than busy during the pandemic. This small group of dedicated women has produced all sorts of knitted and crocheted items to make life easier for others. And they did it with love and lots of laughter! Here’s a list of their 3-month output and the groups that benefited from their labours:
Dr Simone's missions 43 baby hats 32 tote bags 18 vests 17 blankets 15 hats 12 hat/scarf sets 3 prs shoes 3 stuffed animals 3 scarves |
St Felix Centre for Homeless Men 41 hat/scarf sets
Women's Habitat 15 hat/scarf sets 2 pillow cases 2 all-purpose pouches |
Interested in joining this wonderful group? Yak & Yarn meets every Thursday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Members are fully vaccinated and follow all covid safety procedures. They are happy to provide wool, yarn and instructions for beginners.
