Many blue penguins were caught in a recent oil spill off the coast of New Zealand and a yarn store called Skeinz has come to their rescue. They came up with the idea to knit sweaters for the affected penguins who are waiting to be scrubbed clean, this way they won’t injest the oil when they preen themselves.
Sweaters have been pouring in from all over! What a wonderfully creative way to help! As it stands right now they may have more than enough sweaters but you can keep tabs on the situation via the link below!
