The Aldinga and Sellicks Spinners and Knitters group will hold its annual open day next Saturday 3 August at The Aldinga Institute Hall from 10am to 3pm.

This event is an opportunity for the community to experience intricate and beautiful crafts of group members, with the chance to see demonstrations of spinning, knitting, weaving, felting, and other wool crafts.

The open day will feature a variety of stalls where visitors can shop for unique handmade creations, including jumpers, beanies, socks, and scarves, all crafted from natural fibers.

There will also be a selection of yarn, craft supplies, fleece, and fibre available for purchase, along with finished items and gifts.

The group has more than 40 active members and meets twice a month on the first and third Tuesday from 10am to 2pm at the Aldinga Institute on Old Coach Road. For those who prefer evening gatherings, a smaller group also meets every Thursday from 4pm to 7pm at the Aldinga Library.

Not only do these talented crafters create beautiful items, but they also dedicate their skills to knitting for charity and local hospitals. The group's charitable efforts are a testament to their commitment to giving back to the community, providing warmth and comfort to those in need.

The Aldinga and Sellicks Spinners and Knitters group welcomes new members, even those who may not yet be crafty. They offer a friendly and supportive environment where beginners can learn and grow. Interested individuals can reach out by phone at 0417 823 176 or by email.
