Balls of Fun
This latest project by the community is to yarn bomb Pembrey and Burry Port in various locations. We need your help in knitting or crocheting brightly-coloured long scarf lengths with a width of 7 inches/17 centimetres with the length as long as you like. Also, if you can create 3D objects in wool, poppies, or seaside-type knits, we would love to hear from you. Contact Sharron on 07793 890589. We are supported by Burry Port and Pembrey Town Council.

Drop them in the collection tub in the Memorial Hall car park provided by the town council. They will re-use them to provide flowers for the community or if you need some then help yourself.
