Ready to Wear Hand-Knit Hats

New hats have been added to my selection of ready to wear hand-knit hats. These are new, unworn, hats. Most have at least some wool and are hand wash/dry. Several of them are soft enough to use as chemo hats.

I have included links to patterns and yarn where possible, for people who would like to make their own hat.

Vintage Needlework

When I moved my store from Ohio to Virginia, I did not add the needlework kits, etc. to my web site. I am sorting through the boxes and posting those that are still useable. These items are all at least 25 years old and have been in storage most of that time. They would be an inexpensive way to learn needlepoint, cross stitch, or various types of embroidery.

Now Shipping Outside United States

We have re-enabled shipping options to Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

All packages to destinations outside the U.S. will ship using a service called Global Post. This is a service where I send packages to a collection point in the US, then they are bundled and shipped to other countries by Global Post for customs clearance. Once customs are cleared, the local post office delivers your package.

I do not collect any taxes (VAT) or customs duties owed on international shipments. You may need to pay these before your package will be delivered.
