The Prize

So as I'm a knitter, crocheter and part of the wonderful woolly community I thought a woolly prize draw would be super exciting. I've teamed up with some absolutely beautiful UK independents in the woolly industry to curate a stunning collection of treats, from yarn, kits, bags and notions. 

The first 5 prizes are from the amazing TOFTuk, there are 5 goody bags to be won!!! The goody bags are as follows: 

1. Exclusive Darwin kit, containing the yarn, hooks, small glass jar and patterns to create a Darwin Doll and mini octopus. (this kit is normally only available at the Toft workshop at the NHM) 

2. Toft 'Alexandra's Vegetable book' and yarn for one project. 

3. 'Edward's Menagerie' book, Natasha the sloth kit and patch. 

4. 'Edward's Menagerie: the new collection book', 600g yarn and hook.

5. Cork project bag, 7 handmade stitch markers and two hand dyed yarn. 

The next set of prizes are from some amazing uk independents:

1. Hide and Hammer ice dyed project bag 

2. Walcot yarns, 2 skeins of opus yarn

3. Black Elephant purple yarn fade set with two beautiful prints 

4. Camel yarns, 2 skeins and selection of mini skeins.

The Cause

I'm helping to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital, my nephew Teddy has been under their care since he was been born, he has a super rare heart condition, and by doing this prize draw I'll hopefully be able to to give something back and say thank you. Also in March 2025 I will be walking the Sahara Desert with my Dad and Brother-in-law, anything raised from this will also go towards the end total.
