Hats.
Hats for Hato Hone. (St John. The order of St John - first aiders and ambulance service - a lifeline (quite literally) for rural New Zealanders.)
I buy books and yarn at various charity shops. Hato Hone is beside the laundromat at Springlands in Blenheim. Buy something, have a chat... "Do you knit hats? We can always sell hats."
The thing about buying charity shop yarn bags is they always contain yarns I have no personal desire to wear - colours, fluff (texture), gauge (especially the bulky yarns). I sift out the part balls of double knit and 4-ply, sort the wool from the blends and acrylic, rebag the novelty yarns (ribbon yarn - that kind of thing - it goes straight back), set aside what I can use on my own projects and turn the rest into hats...
