Wool wanted

All the details

Hi - I am looking for donations of all kinds of wool for the ladies living at Mary Holborn House in Streatham. My elderly aunty lives there and is trying to get a group together where knitting will be the main activity. She is hopeful that this will also bring women together from different backgrounds and give them a safe place to meet people and form friendships. Knitting is a craft which research shows can actually act as a natural anti-depressant, as well as reduce stress and even protect knitters brain from aging. Another study found that knitting can even be an effective treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as giving the individual a sense of accomplishment achieved after hand-crafting something special. If you can offer a donation of wool that would be great.
