Over the past seven years, Sandra Haycock has knitted and crocheted hundreds of baby vests, beanies and blankets, which have helped keep premature babies and babies in need warm.
Her garments have mainly gone to Middlemore and Waitakere Hospitals, but some have even made their way north to charities in Kaitaia.
But now she is running out of wool and hopes the Mahurangi community may be able to help.
“It doesn’t matter whether its three-ply, double knit or baby wool, any donations of wool will be very welcome,” she says.
Wool that is not suitable for babies is used to make dog coats for Saving Hope and other dog charities.
Asked what motivated her to keep her needles busy, Sandra said the Warkworth community had been good to her, and this was her way of giving back.
Donations of wool can be left at the Mahurangi Matters office, 17 Neville Street, Warkworth, during normal business hours.
