Help create Scarf for Lewy 2027
The Lewy Body Society is inviting knitters and crocheters to help create an enormous scarf for a public awareness event at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh on Monday 19 April 2027.
Each scarf should be 30cm, or about one foot, wide and can be any length. Any yarn, stitch, pattern or colour may be used. Completed scarves will be joined together to form one striking display and start conversations about Lewy Body dementia, a condition that remains widely misunderstood.
Finished scarves can be sent as soon as they are ready to Mrs V Hands, c/o Ms Marie Finlinson, 4 Orchard Hill, Exeter, EX2 9ND. Find out more at www.lewybody.org/scarf-for-lewy-2027-edinburgh and share progress using #AScarfForLewy.
