A huge needle knitting, crochet clicking thank you to every one of you who took part in the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance’s Great Yarn Bomb challenge.  We have been blown away by your support.

Over 900 requests for project details were received and since May, hundreds of helicopters have been spotted flying and landing in shops, parks, churches, offices, pubs and many other locations in communities across Lincs & Notts.  They have been spotted as far away as The Wirral in Cheshire, on the ferry from Southampton to Isle of Wight and even in the cockpit of the Red Arrows!!  And every helicopter has played a part in raising awareness of the vital, life-saving work that our pilots, doctors and paramedics do every day of the year.

Here is just a snapshot of some of the amazing knitted, crocheted and stitched helicopters that have been sighted:

What happens next?

At the end of September we would like to ask that you remove your helicopters from their locations and safely store them away ready to reappear again during our Hello Yellow Week birthday celebrations in May 2025.

And we would love you to keep in touch with us so we can update you on the great work of Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and tell you about new activities that you may wish to be involved in.

Once again, thank you for helping make the Yarn Bomb Challenge such a success.  We hope you enjoyed creating your masterpieces as much as we have enjoyed seeing them, it has been truly fantastic to witness so many helicopters landing in so many different locations.
