We have all been deeply affected by seeing
the effects of the bush res that swept
across Australia so brutally. These res have
destroyed the homes of many thousands of
animals, and as always, knitters were ready
to help. Touchingly, so many have devoted
time and effort to raising resources and funds
to assist in any way they can. Seeing that
the Australian Zoo Wildlife Warriors Bush re
Appeal was trying to raise $500k in funds,
Aberdeen’s Wool Company and Canadian indie
dyers Tangled Poets launched a campaign
where they would attempt to raise a huge
$100k of this $500k goal. Tangled Poets
created The Australia Collection and box sets
in this fantastic yarn are available as well as
single skeins and super-cute pickle jar kits.
