A few weeks ago I received a parcel in the post from someone who follows my Rainbows over Bute FB page.
They had spotted some yarn for sale on Ebay so had bought it and had it sent directly to me, which was extremely lovely of the lady concerned.
So I set to and started making some #ButeBeanies with it.
I started with 1 beanie hat in each colour.
Still had plently of yarn left over so I then made a pretty flower brooch to match each beanie!
After that, I still had plenty of yarn left so made 4 scarves.
After all that crocheting I ended up with a few oddments which have been added to my scrap ball which will eventually be used to make another scrappy scarf.
So, from 10 balls of yarn I got 10 beanie hats, 10 flower brooches and 4 scarves.
Not bad going.
I am extremely grateful for the donations of yarn I receive which help me do what I do to help the homeless & other vulnerable people.
I do buy a lot of yarn when I can get it cheaply but donations of yarn are always very much appreciated.
These hats & scarves will be going out later in the year to any homeless outreach project that can use them and the brooches will be donated to a charity shop to help raise funds for the work they do.
If you've got any yarn that you would be willing to donate to help me make more beanie hats & scarves then please drop me a message on any of my social media.
Many thanks.
