Providing beanies for newborn babies in New Zealand
Our aim is to gift new knitted beanies and bootees for newborn babies in New Zealand - keeping little heads and feet warm, and assisting in a healthy beginning to life.
From February 2009, Erica Lineham with the support of The Yarn Queen Ltd is proud to carry on the work of BEANIES FOR BABIES. Erica acts in a voluntary capacity - collecting, sorting, labelling, and distributing donated hand knitted babies' clothing to birthing units, maternity hospitals, midwifery groups, and Special Care Baby Units in New Zealand.
"My heart has been warmed, as have the heads and feet of our newborns, by the generous and loving response to Beanies for Babies. This work is ongoing as we aim to give as many of our precious newborns as we can, a warm and healthy start to life. Thank you for your continued support." Erica

" You have inspired me to get into the wardrobe - well, spare room really - full of wool, patterns, just-started and nearly-finished projects that I refused to part with when we shifted twice over the last couple of years (husbands don't always understand these things). What luck that I came across you on the internet one long sleepless night!
Having had "old fashioned" babies who wore woollies lovingly knitted by me, grandmas and aunties, I know how important heads and feet and natural fibres are in the warmth stakes..... It's nice to think that some who would otherwise miss out are going to benefit from your great idea." - Jan Peacock, Marton
