WYS Colourlab DK Future Dreams

When WYS were introduced to Future Dreams and their Yarn Therapy Group, they were humbled at the support and sense of community that the group provided to those attending. Through conversations, shared experiences and a mutual love of a yarn – their bespoke colourway was created. The idea was to create something bright, beautiful and meaningful that would flourish and bloom into something that crafters could share and enjoy.

By purchasing the colourway, makers are directly supporting the work of Future Dreams, who provide practical and emotional support via workshops and classes, raise awareness around detecting signs and symptoms and fund research into secondary breast cancer.
