Yarn chicken fail.

So, I had ONE skein of this purple yarn. Thought I would make a hat for my Kelley's Chemo Caps. I had never used the yarn before, but by precision eyeball, it seemed like it was about the same amount I use on my hats. 

Wrong.

Turns out, it's thicker, making it less for a skein than I had estimated. 


Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I am not to use wool in my hats (I assume for allergies/itching). I had tossed this in with my acrylics, turns out, it's partly wool. So, I wound it back to a ball, and put it away to use later, either as a scarf or a SMALLER hat for a local church that gives out clothes for the needy.



So, I knit a different hat with all acrylic, might even get a picture of eventually... 

But now I know to check a bit closer when grabbing yarn for my hat projects!

:/

Meh.
