67 Blankets beat record for charity
‘We did it’ was the resounding cry that went up at the Drakenstein Correctional Services near Paarl on 22 April 2016. “We have broken the Guinness Book of World Records for second time in two years for the biggest crochet blanket in the world,” said an elated Carolyn Steyn, founder of the 67 Blanket for Nelson Mandela Day NPO. Over 10,500 crochet blankets were sewn together to the size of 17,181.06 square metres, over five times more than 67 Blankets’ first world blanket record of 3,377 square metres on 21 April 2015, at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.

This year 67 Blankets had to beat India’s world record of an 11,148 square metres blanket, made six months after the first world record. Members of 67 Blankets living in the Far South under the enthusiastic mentorship of Terry Milne, whipped up many squares and blankets for the ‘Wool Cup’ challenge and were there for the final countdown, cold and wet, fingers to the bone, but the weather didn’t stop play. #WeDidIt. The blankets will now be distributed to the needy in each area they were made.
