All these magnificent scarves on display were lovingly handcrafted by the Morningside Mockingbirds KnitWits as part of the 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day initiative.

They form part of their Secret Scarves Shhh... campaign. Once the activation concludes, every single scarf will be gifted to someone in need — a warm embrace from our hearts to theirs.

If you'd like to support our cause, please visit our donation page: www.67blankets.co.za - We have thousands of volunteers who have the will- but not the wool.
