Wool Yarn: Does it Make the Charity Cut?
There’s no doubt: you have to be careful with wool yarn. Some people are horribly allergic to wool. For others, their skin is so sensitive that even a touch of wool leaves them itchy and miserable all day long. Imagine receiving a cozy blanket only to discover you can’t bear to have it touch your skin! The last thing any of us charitable knitters want is to create that kind of disappointment. So does that mean you should avoid wool yarn entirely? Well, not necessarily. Obviously, you can go as wild as you want when knitting for yourself. At times, you can even use wool yarn for charity — you just have to exercise a little caution.
