Non Stop Knitting

Okay my friends, I agree, I got hooked!
I even bought two knitting books!

Today I was resting, or trying to, when  suddenly an urge came to me, I jumped out of bed and rush to the Wool-Thyme store.

I decided to knit my x-mas gifts and put all my good energy on the stitches.
I bought a few beautiful wool ball. I said wool, not acrylic! Why?! Just read this article that I found online and tell me what you think.

“DID YOU KNOW?
Unlike synthetic fibers, wool is fire retardant. Up until recently, the blankets firefighters used to rescue people from burning buildings were made of tightly woven wool. This is because wool will only burn if it is held on a flame and immediately stops burning if the flame is removed. Synthetics only need to be exposed to high heat before they combust (they don’t even need an open flame) and will continue to burn even after being removed from the heat source. This makes synthetics HIGHLY DANGEROUS for infant bedding and clothing (especially if they’re around smokers) because burning synthetics will actually melt right onto skin and continue to burn even after the flame has gone out.

Wool can be stretched up to 1/3 longer than it’s resting length and still snap back into shape!

Wool is a 100% renewable resource that does not require chemicals or consumable energy to produce!

Superwash wool can be machine washed and dried without worry, making it easy care – perfect for infant wear & blankets!

With all the advances in sheep breeds (like Merino and Blue Face Leicester) plus the greater availability of specialty fibers like Alpaca, the days of “scratchy” wool are over!” 

Well, and if you were a good boy or girl this year,  Santa might get you a knitted hat!
