Lovely toriap2 is one of our own Woolly Hug crew, and we were so very sorry to hear her desperately sad news that her DH had passed away. We are so very sorry for their loss and our thoughts are with her, their daughter and their family. We hope that this blanket will bring some comfort at such a devastating time, we were so glad they accepted our offer. Tori's thread is here.
We shall need crocheters, knitters and donors. If you would like to donate wool or funds, we shall need both and we can match you up. If you would like to join in but need donated wool, we can help there too.We have part balls if any hookers need yarn, please say. Please PM us with your offers of help THANK YOU SO MUCH.


- Toria’s DH loved Dr Who so lots of themes for squares and embellishments right here, we are sure there must be heaps of patterns around.
- We also have the family’s initials if this is something you can do.
- Purple was his favourite colour.
The yarn we are using...
- Artesano Superwash Merino DK
- Debbie Bliss Rialto DK
- Drops Merino Extra Fine DK
- Jenny Watson Pure Merino DK
- Patons Merino Extrafine DK
- Sublime Extra Fine Merino Wool DK
Just from the brands listed please because we know they combine for wash and wear. If you still have any of our wools that have been discontinued - Rowan Cashsoft DK, Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK or James C. Brett Pure Merino DK in your stash, please do use them.


Our palette:
Blues
Purple
Silver
Then these for accents/embellishments only: Jenny Watson pure merino DK WM7 ‘taupe’, white and black.
Please don't feel daunted, we love plain squares and simple textures too. They look as stunning as the more complex squares and play a vital role in the overall effect.
Squares to be 6 inches, using 4mm hook or needles.
All crafting abilities genuinely welcome, squares made by beginner or experienced are equally welcomed. It really is the love and thought that counts.
