None of this would be possible without our fantastic, talented, creative and dedicated team of woolly magicians – the yarnbombers – using their crochet hooks and knitting needles all year to dazzle St Albans in December.
Our wonderful creative director is Candy Stuart, with a lot of support from the woolly mince pie legend that is Lucy Dronfield.
As always, all our creative miracle workers donate all their time and materials. We have craft clubs, WI’s, community groups, individuals and friends working together – everyone is welcome.
There’s some information about some of the team here: https://stalbanstimes.co.uk/st-albans/the-talent-behind-st-albans-districts-postbox-toppers-revealed/
