A belated happy new year!

So many of you will already know I raise money for Vale Wildlife Hospital & Rehabilitation Centre by creating crafts.

I donate all the money to the charity and now to date I have raised over £30,000.

I really want to continue to support all the amazing work the hospital do!

I try when possible to use donated or used goods and up-cycle, so not only saving money but also reducing waste!

Unfortunately some goods I need to buy and green yarn I need in abundance!

It’s also a specific green yarn I use ( I have to be a little picky! )

I purchase most through LoveCrafts Knitting

If anyone can be kind enough to support my fundraising by purchasing yarn and sending this to vale wildlife hospital, I can then turn this yarn into crafts to sell!

Vale Wildlife Hospital
Station Road
Beckford
Tewkesbury
GL20 7AN

Just to give you an idea a large wreath will use approximately 4-5 balls of yarn - (£6-7) - I can then craft and sell for £35-£40 and all of this will then be donated to the charity! So a small donation can literally increase by 600%!

So please, if you can help, this is the website

https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb

I use Paint box yarn- in either
-Simply DK
-Simply Aran
OR
-Simply Chunky

ONLY IN THESE TWO COLOURS
Pear Green and lime Green

It comes in packs of 1,5,10 or 20 balls discount 35-40% off depending on pack size!

& Currently £5 off when spend £25- CODE FIVEOFF

Here’s a link to the simply DK for reference.
