Chapelton’s Crochet Club: Bringing the town to life with yarn

If you’ve wandered through Chapelton recently, you might have noticed some delightful new additions brightening up the streets – crochet toppers appearing on posts, bringing a touch of creativity and charm to the community.

These handcrafted designs are the work of none other than Chapelton’s Crochet Club, a group of talented and passionate crafters who meet at The Hut to stitch, chat and spread a little woolly joy.

The heart of Chapelton’s crochet club

The Crochet Club meets on the second and last Thursday of every month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at The Hut. The group is open to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced crocheters, and provides a welcoming and friendly space to learn, create and connect. With members hailing from Chapelton, Portlethen, Newtonhill, Netherley and even as far as Catterline, the club is a hub for both crafting and companionship.

More than just crochet

For many of the members, the club is about more than just crocheting – it’s a place where they can enjoy a cuppa, catch up with friends and unwind. The relaxed and supportive atmosphere makes it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The current group has been running for two years, but Chapelton has a long history of crochet clubs. The original group, known as the Woolly Mammas, was responsible for yarn bombing the phone box – a vibrant display of community spirit through the art of crochet.

Bringing Chapelton to life with yarn

Today’s Crochet Club continues that same tradition, creating seasonal-themed toppers that add a splash of colour and character to the town. The latest spring-themed designs can be spotted on posts around Chapelton, including at the junction between Quarryline Street and Bunting Place. These handcrafted works of art not only showcase the talent of the club members but are also bringing smiles to residents and visitors alike.

Beyond their decorative projects, the club members also make clothes and accessories for themselves and others. They are currently crocheting poppies for the Gordon Highlander Museum and are even receiving special requests from Chapelton residents who admire their work.
