HANDWARMERS NEEDED FOR UPCOMING DISTRIBUTIONS
Our team in South Africa reports that we have a very few handwarmers for the upcoming distribution season. Please consider making a pair or two and send them with your next shipment. Please pay attention to sizing, children's hands are much smaller than adult hands.
Our KAS Patternbook have both knitting and crochet patterns, KAS PATTERNBOOK.
