There
are so many children and adults in need of a bright colored cap to wear
when they lose their hair to chemotherapy. At a time when their lives
are
in enough turmoil, perhaps having a cap someone has made just for them,
will bring some renewed hope into their life. Please help today. For info on and places

few helpful guideines for making caps
1) Softer yarns: cotton, baby yarn, soft worsted like 'Caron Simply Soft' or 'Lion Brand Pound of Love' are more comfortable to wear, and cotton is really nice for summer. 2) Thinner, seamless (crochet or knit in the round), non-lumpy caps for sleeping/increased comfort on the recipients heads. 3) Please use yarns without WOOL content. 4) Please wash and machine dry hats before sending, as this will often soften them. 5) Do not use scented fabric softeners as many people are allergic to them. 6) From Breast cancer survivor, Barbara B.: "I DO want to pass on my personal feeling, relative to cancer caps, that when I was bald, I wore hats and caps to cover that up. So speaking only for me, I preferred solid caps and hats. A shell stitch or a V-stitch or a granny-square cap would show the baldness through the spaces."

this info: Before cutting
your hair,
pull into a ponytail (and/or braid). Your hair must be clean and
dry. Cut above the holder to be able to cut off a minimum of 12
inches.
Then mail to the above address. They take the hair and make the
wigs
for the kids who have lost their hair due to the cancer treatments. CANCER INFO. links Since my
mom and her sister both died of breast cancer and my older sister now
has been diagnosed with it, the research being done to cure this
disease is large in my heart! Back
