The Shed, Antrim

A huge thank you to all the wonderful kind customers who donated. Very much appreciated ❤️

I knew you lot would come through, and you did not disappoint. 💛

Together we raised £451.94 for The Ladies @ The Shed in Antrim — and I am just so proud of this community.

Every order placed, every donation made, every share and every kind word added up to something really meaningful for an organisation that does genuinely brilliant work. This is exactly what the yarn community is all about, and moments like this remind me why I love what I do.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You're the reason this happened. 🧶

If you'd like to find out more about The Shed or make a direct donation, just drop me a message and I'll send you their details.

Even though we are still between premises our ladies are working hard producing items for Winter Woollies. We've had people having a chuckle as they see us huddled at the side of cars to see what yarn can be used next, whether it's outside Antrim Library or Journey Church nothing keeps us away from yarn 🧶😜

As the temperature drops and heating costs rise, residents across our Borough need our help to stay warm. You are invited to knit or crochet warm items, either on your own or with your friends or community group. If you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, your handmade hats, scarves, blankets and other warm items will find their way to those who need them most. 🧤

Items can be dropped off at our donation points in Mossley Mill and Antrim Civic Centre from September 13th to November 14th 2026.

To celebrate 5 years of Winter Woollies, we are also launching the BIG BLANKET APPEAL! Our goal is to fill the Theatre at the Mill with blankets that represent our community and our residents, which will then be donated to care homes. 🤍
Donate a special blanket sized 30” x 30” and help us fill the Theatre!
