What's nicer than a basket full of English yarn?

Hello everyone!

I'm popping in to SIBOL this morning to show you my yummy yarn which I have received this morning.
A few days ago I received some pretty Crocheted squares from 'The Wool Stop' (Judith). The Wool Stop
sell great sacks of Double Knitting yarn great for Charity work and Judith has very kindly sent me 12 100gm balls for our 'SIBOL' work. Isn't that so....kind of her!

The yarn consists of Robin 'Double Knit' which is a very well known name for yarn here in the UK. It is made by Thomas B Ramsden, in Guiseley, West Yorkshire.

Also 'New Fashion' Double Knitting by Woolcraft Clifford Street Mills, Bradford.

The yarn comes in fantastic bright colours and I know Ladies in the States particularly like our English yarn. It is so soft and is worked with so easily.

I really would love you to pop over to 'The Wool Stop'. Have a look at their website because they sell other beautiful yarns too like Cygnet, James Brett etc., James Brett is a wonderful yarn to work with particularly I use a lot of that for SIBOL.

I bet you want to see my yummy yarn now? Do you? Here it is!

What's nicer than a basket of Double Knitting Yarn made in England?

Thanks Judith, your kindness is very much appreciated!

Gorgeous yarn all Double Knitting made in Yorkshire, England.

Such great colours for Charity work! Thank you Judith!

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

I live in the UK.

With the help of my on-line friends we

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

to Elderly Residents in Care/Nursing Homes.

Would you like to help us?

We no longer accept Squares but we do accept

your Crocheted and Knitted Blankets. We also

accept Knitted and Crocheted Shawls.

My address is only available by email.

Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

All details are on

The project was started in Memory of my

Grandmother.

Thank you!

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

Thank you.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
