I use this yarn to knit hats to be sent to the Hats for Sailors project. The project collects hand-knit and hand-crocheted hats each year and distributes them to all personnel on selected US Navy and Coast Guard vessels that are deployed during the holiday season. 100% superwash is required by the US Navy for safety reasons; 100% wool doesn't melt in event of fire on board. Stitch Please comes in a big range of colors and is great for knitting and crocheting. Unlike other superwash yarn, the price of Stitch Please (especially when Premier has a sale) is reasonable and allows knitters to be able to make multiple hats to send to Hats for Sailors, for the men and women who bravely and unselfishly serve our country.
