I have no idea how long this project has been in existence, but it did not come on my knitting radar until a few weeks ago.
The helmet liners that our soldiers are issued are part acrylic. Acrylic fiber melts when exposed to high temperatures. The knitting community has recognized this need and have dedicated knitting time to making liners that are 100% wool.
This project really pulls at my heart strings. Our soldiers have volunteered their time to protect me. I certainly can devote time to protect them.
In an effort to make this project as easy as possible, we at Knit ‘N Style have gathered web sites for our readers to view, many of which include patterns. These websites along with patterns are posted on our website www.knitnstyle.com under Knitting for Charity.
The sample in the photo was knitted using Plymouth Galway yarn. Not only was this a wonderful fiber to work with, one ball makes two helmet liners.
Please join us. Let a soldier know that we back home have not forgotten them and we care enough to send them some hand-made protection.
Best stitches,
Vickie
