I you're looking for a home for your teddies, don't forget to say where you live.

Don't knit 100's of teddies, without thinking about where they are going. The network grows only when knitters and distributers of teddies contact the site. Don't send teddies to this address but do make contact to tell me you have some, if we don't know who you are we can't help find homes for you.

If you're posting teddies, send several parcels if necessary; the maximum weight for a second class parcel is 1 kilo and that's approximately 8 teddies (+ bags).

Please don't send unsolicited teddies to charities. They may not have storage facilities and there is a limit to how many a charity can cope with at one time. Check with the website and your teddies will go where they're needed. Also keep a look-out in local papers, they are a good source of new outlets.
