TOFT, Dougie the pride ram, pride month, crochet

Pride month at TOFT

At TOFT we understand and value the importance of Pride Month, and our community will always be a safe place that is inclusive and equal for all.  We are very pleased to be working in partnership with The Proud Trust for the re-release of our Pride Ram kit. 

Dougie’s back - bolder, brighter and even more proud than ever before! 

For this crochet project you have a choice of up to eight colours to crochet your own pride flag horns for Dougie the Ram. TOFT will donate £3 from every crochet kit purchased to The Proud Trust to support work throughout the whole country for the LGBTQ+ youth community. 

THIS KIT CONTAINS: 100g of Cream TOFT's luxury British DK wool + 25g in a colour of your choice.  You can add up to 200g of extra colours (£6/25g) in TOFT's luxury British DK wool in the colours of your choice. You will need to select ‘no thanks’ from any remaining dropdown menus to fly your flag with pride.
