After a successful inaugural campaign in 2024, the Wool Drive is back!
Do you have spools of yarn, knitting needles or crochet hooks that you are no longer using? Do you have leftover wool or tools from previous projects? Why not recycle them by donating to the Antrim and Newtownabbey Wool Drive!
We are looking for reasonably useable quantities of wool, of all weights, colours, and types. We are also looking for pairs of knitting needles and crochet hooks. Your donations will go to local organisations that host knitting groups, so not only are you helping the environment, you are also supporting your community and helping someone learn a new skill.
The Wool Drive collects and recycle materials that will be donated to community groups in anticipation of our annual Winter Woollies initiative.
For more information, please contact Environmental Health on T. 028 9034 0160 or E. envhealth@antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk
Donation points will be located at Mossley Mill and Antrim Civic Centre from 16 July to 5 September 2025.
Please note that we are not collecting donations of handmade items for Winter Woollies at this time!
