About 67 Blankets

67 Blankets is a global movement that aims to knit, crochet, and create blankets to bring comfort and support to those in need. Founded by Carolyn Steyn in honour of Nelson Mandela's 67 years of service, the organisation has made a significant impact in communities worldwide. To celebrate, we’ll handover the blankets knitted by the dedicated volunteers of the Marsh knitting project to 67 Blankets to give back to the community as temperatures drop this winter.
