St. Paul’s Church Artists in Residence scheme is also launching its ‘Big Yarn Project 2024’ which encourages everybody (not just in Ryhope) to crochet and knit for good causes. This year, we have chosen something which has touched the hearts of our lovely volunteers:

1) wiggly bags

A central line is a long, thin, hollow tube which is sometimes called a Hickman Line or ‘a wiggly’. It can be used to give chemotherapy or other treatments. It is inserted under the skin of the chest and into a vein close by. Wiggly bags are made to hold the lines out of the way.

2) cannula sleeves

A cannula is a flexible tube. Cannula sleeves are used to cover cannulas which go into a vein in the arm. The sleeve helps make people less anxious about the cannula, including the patients, their families and friends.

**Get Involved!**

Kintters and crocheters: please get in touch to ask for more details and patterns. If you have any donations of yarn, please contact our volunteers with a photo or description.
