Look at these fun colored knitted hats from Becky. Aren't they fun? The hats are made of re-cycled yarn. By that I mean, Becky takes apart old sweaters and re-cycles the fiber/yarn. Now, as she explains to me this can only be done if the sweater wasn't surged, (it's seams that is). Then she used Kool Aid to dye the yarn. She had fun with the process, is warming heads of those in need, and is recycling...that's what I call a Win, Win, Win situation!Thanks bunches Becky for your donation. Been out of town and am trying to catch up a bit with documented donations.
We've got about a foot of snow on the ground right now folks, so all your hats, scarves, and mittens are doubly appreciated.

Kool-aid is a pain to try and get out of clothes so I would imagine it would work well as a dye. These hats are very nice. I love that they are repurposed sweaters!
