Please Note: the military has again revised the requirements for
acceptable clothing.
Items for ground troupes cannot contain any synthetic fibers
what-so-ever. Synthetic fibers melt and cause burns in the extreme
heat of an explosion. All items for ground troops must be made
of 100% wool or other animal fiber. Items for ground troops are
only accepted in two colors: Coyote Brown or Black.
Items for ship personnel and hospitals may be made with synthetic
fibers and in a wide range of colors, but please make sure that all
items are very soft (the new Red Heart yarns are too scratchy)
and very stretchy to fit a variety of sizes. Military approved
patterns are available at the LaGrange County Public Library or
on-line at www.theshipsproject.com/patterns.htm. For a complete
description of the military's needs and requirements, please see
www.theshipsproject.com.
