The annual Aussie breast cancer fundraiser ‘Knit for the Girls’, supports the Australian National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), which is being held from 23rd - 30th October 2025.
In 2024 the Aussie fibre craft community raised $120K AUD for NBCF and together with our Canadian fundraising friends, Thread & Maple and Grocery Girls (who raised funds for Breast Cancer Canada), we collectively raised $237K AUD in one week for breast cancer research.
With so many fellow makers, family and friends continuing to be affected by breast cancer, we feel it’s important to continue to help both raise funds and awareness into breast cancer research.
'Boobalicious' Exclusive for 'Knit For The Girls 2025'
All yarns will be dyed and shipped within a fortnight of this event finishing.
I spend a lot of time working on the images to be as colour accurate as possible. There may be colour variation due to computer screen resolutions. There are also colour variations due to the nature of hand dyed yarns.
It is best to hand wash gently in luke warm water, using a neutral non Eucalyptus wool wash. Eucalyptus based wool wash has been known to strip colour, so over time, it may affect the colour of the yarn. If you wish to use the washing machine. Place your piece into a laundry bag and wash on the wool setting with wool wash.
Dry in the shade and store your knitted/crochet item flat.
