If baby Prince George looks all warm and snuggly on his visit to New Zealand, then a group of knitters from Waihi can take the credit.
The newest member of the Royal family will accompany mum and dad, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their April visit and if there's a chill in the air, he will have some genuine New Zealand merino wool clobber to put on.
Earlier this week two merino wool singlets, knitted by members of Rural Women New Zealand's Waitawheta branch, were sent to Wellington to be presented to the family.
But it was something of a stroke of luck that saw the honour go to the local group.
Branch president Frances Bicknell says the group had been part of an initiative to knit singlets for babies last year.
