Natural yarns
Many customers are asking us for natural yarns. Some of the new yarns and many of our existing ones contain wool, cotton or bamboo and we are expecting a new pure wool yarn from our local supplier. We also have hand dyed pure cotton, 100% bamboo and a cotton and bamboo mixture all in beautiful colours.
Mandela Day
Every year on Madiba's birthday, 18 July, South Africans from all walks of life are requested to donate 67 minutes of their time to a community in need. This year has seen so many wonderful projects and the exciting thing is that each year more and more of these projects become permanent features.
This year we put out a request for crocheted and knitted squares to put together for blankets to give to some of the wonderful people who take orphans and abandoned children into their homes. On Mandela day we had a group of ladies who joined us in the shop to sew some of the squares together. We are aiming for 10 blankets for the Appletree Foundation ladies.
Thank you to the many ladies who have made squares or sewn them together. Here are just a few.
