Homeless people in Barnsley are to get warm blankets thanks to the people at Knit2gether.

Knit2gether is a monthly knitting event for people with dementia and their carers, which takes place at Experience Barnsley.

And a by-product of the knitting sessions - dozens of squares of knitted wool - have been used to good effect.

Fashion students from Barnsley College got involved by crocheting the knitted pieces together to make blankets.
