A LIBRARY in Douglas is appealing for donations of leftover wool to help them with an initiative for Children in Need.
The Family Library on Westmoreland Road is organising a Great Woolly Stash for Cash.
Mary Cousins, the librarian in charge, explained: "We are organising a sale of small knitted and crocheted creatures, toys and other little items made from bits and bobs of leftover yarn.
"Anyone who knits or crochets will know that after every big project you're left with stashes of wool that are too small to make into anything other than dolls' clothes.
"The library is going to sell leftover yarn throughout October, so donations of small stashes will be welcome, and then throughout November the library is hoping to sell lots of lovely items for pocket-money prices and raise money for Children In Need."
To donate wool, or purchase it to make an item for sale, simply visit the library during October.
Joining the family library costs £2 a year for children and £5 for parents. Members can borrow up to six books, three CDs and one DVD at a time. For more information visit www.familylibrary.co.uk or telephone 01624 673123.
