Well, when I knit I never use wool of any kind as I am highly sensitive to it, as is my family. I can't stand the feel of it on my hands, I get all itchy. I knit baby blankets for Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia for their NICU. I know they are loved there. I also sew for Quilts for Kids; I know they are appreciated also.
