Dingwall's yarn-bombing group raises cash for St Clement's school

Dingwall yarn-bombing for different festivities has brightened up the High Street, and it has also raised cash for a worthy cause.

The Dingwall yarn-bomber struck again in early February, this time with Valentine's Day themed knitting seen throughout the High Street.

The woman behind the knitting is University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) art graduate, Sharon Marshall.

It all started when Sharon was given the opportunity to yarn bomb a car in the Dicksons showroom, followed by some work for the Loch Ness knit festival which included yarn bombing at Inverness Airport.

Sharon said on her Facebook page: "My goodness! The Yarnbombers have tallied up the collecting tins and we just want to say a massive thank you! The good folks of Dingwall who have shown appreciation of our yarn bombing have raised £110 which is going directly to St Clement's School.

"Our next project is underway and the collecting tins are back out once again! The Veg Shop, The Spar Shop and West End Filling Station – our thanks to you also for holding our collection tins."
