Yarn Bombers by Keith Burton
The premiere of a brand-new laugh-out-loud comedy follows the battle between some care home residents with a passion for knitting and the local mayor.
It’s a call to arms with hilarious consequences as they fight to keep both their home and the local haberdashery shop open.
The special citizens are a feisty bunch and use their knitting skills to “Yarn Bomb” the Mayor’s Tour de Ridings cycle event. Written by local author Keith Burton who spins a great yarn.
