Clare wants to cheer Nina up, and thinks the knitted figures that have been appearing along the pier in Saltburn-on-Sea will do the job. But when Clare accuses Nina of stealing Tom Daley, a storm starts to brew. Will lairy Clare be able to calm neurotic Nina, or will the locals have something other than the strange knitting to talk about after tonight? Inspired by the real Saltburn yarn bombers, An Illuminating Yarn combines comedy and tragedy (and a bit of Buck's Fizz), and puts friendship, mental health and the recession under the moonlight.
