The Glasgow weavers helping the fight to defend Ukraine

Two nets were just being finished when BBC Scotland News visited the group’s current base in Parkhead.

They are different sizes and colours, fitting the requirements being requested back in the women’s homeland. One of them covers the entire floor.

“The nets are made to go into particular environments, and therefore they change with the seasons,” says Lindsay Campbell, a member of the group who is not Ukrainian herself but has a son-in-law who is.

“You can’t use a snowy net in the middle of summer and there is no point hiding under a green net during the winter either.

“We respond to what we are asked for. I have no idea where they actually go once they are sent off, we just get told what sort of environment they are going to.”

Lindsay took in a refugee who arrived in Scotland in 2022, part of the group that arrived and initially stayed on a cruise ship on the River Clyde.

When the woman staying with Lindsay decided to pop along to the Weegie Weavers, Lindsay went along too, and has been a member since then.

“It has been a good thing for them, because it’s very difficult, they’ve left everything they know behind,” she says.
