GET FLEECED FOR CHARITY !

FREE ALPACA & USHANT FLEECE

See below or click for Shawl pattern

We have a fairly large amount of fleece from The Hamerton Zoo Park * in Cambridgeshire and
this is being given away in return for a donation (any size appreciated) for charity

The fleeces are from their own herd of Alpacas as well as the delightful
Ushant sheep herd there - the smallest sheep in the World at only 15 inches!

Linzi supports The Nene Valley Fibromyalgia Support Group **
Fibromyalgia is a non-curable illness with symptoms akin to arthritis and muscular weakness amongst many other things ***

To get some of this lovely fleece (currently in white, beige, brown & black), please post an envelope big enough for the amount of fleece you would like us to 'stuff' in it! Of course we would like to cover the postage back to you, so please either enclose enough stamps or cash for this - any postage not used will go into our collection box too

This fleece is ENTIRELY FREE but please, please make a donation of your choice either by enclosing a cheque payable to "Nene Valley Fibromyalgia Support Group" or send cash for them. The Nene Valley Group is an independent Voluntary Group who have a working relationship with the Fibromyalgia Association UK

Please let us know if you prefer Alpaca or Ushant fleece by enclosing a note with your envelope & donation

Please contact via e-mail before ordering if you would like a particular shade or to double check that we still have any

There is also a large amount of Seconds fleece which is ideal for felting or for lining bird boxes
there is still a lot of usable fleece for spinners in the bags

"The Hamerton Shawl"

Linzi has been busy designing a free pattern for a shawl to accompany fleece and this is now ready, just click on either image
