To everyone -

I will train my daughter to make these hats, as I no longer have enough time to do it. When she is ready and makes the hats as well as I do, we will post again saying that we’re ready to take orders.

Thanks for your patience!

Albert – I’m sorrry but I’m not currently making hats as I don’t have enough time in the day. *sigh* I am training my daughter though and as soon as she can make a good one, we’ll contact you to see if you’re still interested.

Hi!

I just love the wool beanie you made for Jeff. I would love to buy one if you are still making them. Is this possible? Let me know.

Thanks,
Dennis

Zoe,

When I get the fabric (whether wool jersey or wool interlock), I wash it on hot twice and dry it twice on high. It felts nicely – so soft! The interlock changes greatly, the jersey not so much.

Then I create my garment and/or dye it.

After that, I wash on the handwash/wool cycle and lay flat to dry. It will keep shrinking over time with heat and agitation, so I am very careful with washing.

Hope this helps! Enjoy!

I was wondering with all your wonderful wool projects if you felt the wool – or do you just wash it in cold and it stays the same size??
I bought some lovely wool jersey knit and thought I HAD to prefelt it but now it is soooo different than I had expected it to be!
I too and hoping to make some wool base layers for my family as I am not too keen on my little one always being wrapped up in synthetic all winter and my hubby’s sysnthetics tend to get STINKY!

Tiffany – that is the best stuff! Once I got a roll from my doctor, but she switched to non-disposable, washable exam table cloths, so that wasn’t reliable. My next roll I got from the medical supply company in town. I can’t think of anything better for patterns. Have fun with that flannel!

Marg – you know, hemming is very important!

From what I’ve seen, Jeff likes to keep his hair short so I’m sure he’ll enjoy your cap as the weather gets cold.

I like sewing but haven’t had any projects going other than hemming hubby’s overalls.

Wardeh,
I have been wondering if you have been doing any sewing with everything else you have going on.
I bought some flannel about 2 weeks ago and haven’t even started on it yet. I need to get some pattern paper. I was thinking about buying the paper they put on the exam tables in doctors offices. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Love the skull cap!
Tiffany
