It's a sturdy wool, slightly scratchy, but warm as hell. Men must be warned NOT to throw the hats in the washing machine, cause this yarn felts if you look at it wrong. Don't get Orange Kool-Aid, since it washes out a bit (lake dyes), instead use the Latin flavor Kool-Aid in Mandarin Tangerine, or something like that, or orange Wilton icing color.Mei Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485098963004906266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977720.post-30955471634907465902007-05-20T16:18:00.000-05:002007-05-20T16:18:00.000-05:00Very cool.

I want to make sure I use a heavy wool that will keep their little noggins warm & toasty.SusannahShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694810711973250511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977720.post-84964176896859848292007-05-01T15:18:00.000-05:002007-05-01T15:18:00.000-05:00Very cool!I just finished my 2nd crochet felted ba...Very cool!<BR/>I just finished my 2nd crochet felted bag (its currently in the blocking stage). I Quite enjoy your blog and the different projects you are working on. After seeing your work with a knitting machine I so want one but unfortunately I'd be no good at the hand knit borders. Still, It's very inspiring.<BR/><BR/>FYI: not sure if you know this but your new entries only seem to come up after you've added like 4 or 5 blog entries and then they all come up at once. Just in case you think no one is reading...cause we are!<BR/>BluAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
