The Donkey Sanctuary knitted donkeys are proving so popular that they need extra help!
The Donkey Sanctuary are looking for keen knitters to turn their needles towards creating a herd of knitted donkeys to sell through their Visitor's Centre and online Gift Shop.
Being so popular, the knitted donkeys will help The Donkey Sanctuary to raise much needed funds. The pattern itself originally came from a 1954 issue of the Woman's Weekly magazine. It's wonderful that it has been revived over 50 years later!
As each one is individually hand made, all the knitted donkeys are truly unique creations with their own personalities, just like the Sanctuary's real life donkeys.
The Donkey Sanctuary are thrilled with the success of these lovable characters and due to their popularity, they are calling on their supporters to get knitting and help raise money for the work that they do providing sanctuary for needy donkeys.
To receive a free copy of either knitting pattern, with full instructions, for a 'Woolley' (24cm/9 inch high) or 'Mini Woolley' (12cm/5inches high), contact Ruth in the community fundraising department on 01395 572222.
