Carole has recently produced a new hat, and this one is a bit special.
She has knitted this one from a pure wool yarn which has been produced from wool, reared, sheared and spun in Britian.
The yarn has been produced with a donation from each ball sold going to the Future Dreams Breast Cancer Charity.
So your new hat will be helping British sheep famers and a breast cancer charity.
The hat is available from our website here, or come and pick it up from The Wool Boat.
