About Noela Foxcroft: Noela Foxcroft is a cherished figure in the local community. With a passion for fibre arts and education that spans more than seven decades, she brings a wealth of knowledge and an infectious enthusiasm to her workshops. Her role as 'Mrs. Marsh' on Rosehaven has made her a familiar face, and she looks forward to sharing not only her knitting expertise but also some delightful stories from her time on set.

Noela will also be sharing her passion for the 'Rug Up Tassie 2024'. 
This is a statewide community appeal for weavers of all abilities to help create blankets for those in need this winter. Participants are asked to knit/crochet 20x20cm squares of any colour or stitch.

It's a campaign close to her heart, having worked in collaboration with the ABC for over 30 years (and knitting a few penguin winter woolies in-between). This year Noela and Ryk Goddard are aiming for 5000 squares!
