First 100 Helmet Liners!!!

Thanks to those you who have made knitted contributions to this cause!

Helmet Liners Update

So far, so good. Everyday there are more and more knitters joining in to knit helmet liners for our troops, but we still need more! Fifty-eight completed liners are in the shoppe right now, but that leaves another two thousand six hundred and forty-two to go!Thank you to all of the knitters who have completed and donated liners and to all of those who are just starting them. Remember, if you want to join in making helmet liners for ID, MT and OR National Guardsmen, just stop by the shoppe, pick up a pattern and a hank of Cascade 220 and get knitting! Any Cascade 220 yarn that is purchased for the making of these helmet liners will continue to be 20% off through August. Thank you!

Helmet Liners for the Soldiers of the 116th

In the coming months, the men and women of the 116th Brigade of Idaho, Oregon and Montana will be preparing for deployment to Iraq. The climate in many parts of the Middle East varies from extreme heat to exteme cold, and because of this, our soldiers need 100% wool helmet liners, used to prevent heat loss in the winter and overheating in the summer. The liners are simple and quick projects, perfect for summertime road trips. The Yarn Shoppe will be collecting completed helmet liners until the beginning of September. Come into the shoppe anytime to collect a free pattern. Also, any Cascade 220 yarn, used for this project is 20% off through the end of June. Please remember to use only 100% wool yarns for these liners, as wool contains a natural flame retardant. Thank you to all of the knitters out there who have already started their liners, and to the men and women of our armed services, for their continued dedication in protecting their people.
