Healesville’s Crumbz Craft’s month of fundraising during May will wrap up with their non-stop 24 hour overnight knit, which will run from 12pm on Saturday 25 May to 12pm the next day.
Each year Healesville haberdashery Crumbz Craft chooses a charity to support with a month of fundraising throughout May.
This year they are raising funds and awareness for Cure Brain Cancer Foundation with a month-long sponsored Yarn-a-Thon.
Crumbz Craft welcomes crafters from further afield to host their own overnight event with their craft groups and friends wherever they may be, and connect their events to Crumbz Crafts’ via social media to share their photos and funny stories.
This will mark Crumbz Craft’s third overnight knit, and they welcome locals to drop-in throughout the day and night to show their support by donating to their cause.
In previous years, crafters sat in bean bags outside the front of the store to inform passers-by of the event.
When the light faded they moved inside and scattered throughout the shop in their PJ’s and ugg boots, crafting away as they listened to music, made themselves a bite to eat and laughed at crazy animal videos on Youtube all while crafting.
Crumbz Craft recently raised $1400 at their beer and yarn night at Watts River Brewery.
