Yarns, threads and traditions. Ladies craft a legacy of care

For those keen on joining, the group is always open to adding another chair.

A group of compassionate ladies, the Yandina Yarners, are weaving threads of love and tradition.

The women not only preserve the crafts handed down from their mothers and grandmothers but also knit and crochet knee rugs for oncology patients.

Meeting every Thursday at the Ginger Factory from 9.30am to 11.30am, the ladies transform donated wool into comforting items for those undergoing treatment.

“During our gatherings, it’s not just about knitting and crocheting,” said spokesperson Heather Peterson.

“We’re also imparting the rich heritage of these crafts, skills passed down from our mothers and grandmothers, to the younger generation.”

For those keen on joining, the group is always open to adding another chair.

“You don’t have to be working on a project,” Heather said. “Many come just for a yarn and a cuppa.”

“We are very grateful to the Management of the Ginger Factory for our warm welcome to this friendly environment.”
