When I visited my local wool shop called Loopy in Ulverston, the owner Andrea was asking for volunteers to knit or crochet any size squares or rectangles to yarn bomb Ulverston in time for one of the festivals called Another Fine Fest. Ulverston has a lot of festivals throughout the year, this particular festival is on Saturday 14th June and it is to celebrate the birthday of Stan Laurel who was born here in Ulverston. If you would like more information on the festival and everything that is going on that weekend, take time out to have a look at their Laurel and Hardy website.
Andrea is still asking for volunteers, you can pop into her shop or give her a ring on 01229 480080 or email her at andrea.loopy@hotmail.co.uk. Andrea also has a box of remnants of wool, if you ask her you can take some of that instead of using your own stash. I know all help is gratefully received.
Just a few balls of wool I took from Andrea's stash box.
