Perthshire Amber - The Dougie MacLean Festival is repeating its Big Knit again this year. Last year people at the festival and across the globe got their knitting needles out to help raise £2,000 for Shelter Scotland. (..) For knitters who want to get involved and can’t come to the festival, all they have to do is to get hold of some Artesano wool and knit a six inch square in one of the approved blanket colours, and then send it off to the Festival.

More info at Shelter Scotland. If you are a Glasgow knitter, you can purchase Artesano yarn at Mandors or The Life Craft.
