Here is what I am starting with... I have some gorgeous cotton and wool, and of course I have my huge stash of acrylic to work with, but I am hoping for all the newborn beanies for donation to be made from the organic cotton. I still need to do a little research to see if places will want anything in wool, due to some wool allergies. For now I am just sticking with cotton. Everyone loves nice soft cotton!
Lucky me, my wonderful husband got me a yarn winder and spinner for Christmas! This thing is amazing! It took me a few tries to get it going (and a few yarns wrapped around all over the spinner) but I think I have the hang of it now. Now if only I can keep my toddler from grabbing the yarn mid spin, we will be good to go :) And my husband is happy that he doesnt have to help wind yarn by hand anymore.
Here is the beginning of the newborn beanies. I also have another one in the mint. Soon I will have a whole pile of these and will let you know my plans for the first donation.
Also, if you are in the market for some wool, I have a big stash ready to ship! And dont forget to check out the new shop at thenewproject.etsy.com.
Happy New Year everyone! Cant wait to start out the year with this new challenge. Thanks to everyone who helped TinyToppers (RIP) be such a success and for supporting my new ideas!
