Thank you to everyone who has started making poppies!
To clear a few queries up:
1. They can be made out of any shade of red acrylic wool
2. They can be any size
3. You can use any knitting or crochet patterns
4. Please sew in the two black strands of wool but don’t cut them off as these will be used to tie onto the netting
5. When you want to drop off any poppies to the church please count them, place in a bag and write on the bag the amount
6. We would appreciate you using your own wool, however we may be able to provide wool later in the project if local funding is sourced (reasonably priced acrylic wool can be purchased at the garden centre, Buttons haberdashery and Hobbycraft)
We are in the early stages of this project and so there are a few teething problems but we will get there. Thank you 🌺
