Threads & Tales
Community Challenge to Support the Homeless in Scarborough
Threads and Tales invited knitters to take part in a free challenge to knit 100 hats for those in need at The Rainbow Centre in Scarborough. Sponsored by King Cole, Threads & Tales Thornton Le Dale & HPE Print Pickering. The projects goal was to provide warm winter hats ahead of the colder months.
Getting involved was simple. Participants could visit Threads & Tales in Thorton Le Dale to collect a free ball of wool and a free knitting pattern.
Completed hats were then returned to a collection point in the shop.
The completed hats were delivered to The Rainbow Centre, ensuring they are distributed before the onset of winter.
Both experienced and beginner knitters embraced the challenge and we are pleased to announce that 139 hats were handed over yesterday by Denise and Roger.
The Rainbow Centre would like to thank all the participants both local and visitors to the shop for the time spent helping to make a difference to us here at The Rainbow. Big thank you to Denise too for organising.
