Each year Prickwillow hold their annual festival and split the money raised between two charities. Previous years have seen more than £30,000 raised.
This year the money will be split between the Cancer Research Foundation and the Prickwillow Engine Museum.
A spokesman said: “Back in February an appeal went out via this newspaper for wool donations and volunteer knitters, the response was tremendous.
“Now with just one week to go, we have nearly 200 beautifully, hand knitted hats to sell of all shapes and sizes, where 100 per cent of the money raised will go to charity.
