West Yorkshire Spinners are donating 50 pence to Mind for every kilo of Re:treat yarn sold so knitters will also be helping to support this wonderful charity whose mission is to provide advice and support to those with a mental health problem.
Mind also campaigns to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding, as well as research. Mind’s tips for maintaining a positive wellbeing include taking time for yourself, doing something you enjoy and find relaxing. Crafting ticks all of those boxes and many studies have shown a positive link between knitting and good mental health. Research has also highlighted clinical benefits too, such as reducing depression and anxiety, and slowing the onset of dementia.
