Three colorways are available and arrive packaged in a Cascade logo bag with 7 skeins of Color A, 8 skeins of Color B, 6 skeins of Color C, 4 skeins of Color D, and 2 skeins of Color E.
Cascade Yarns will make a donation to Knitted Knockers equal to the amount that it receives from Ravelry for the sale of this pattern. Knitted Knockers Support Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by volunteers focusing on the free distribution of handcrafted breast prostheses (“knockers”) to women impacted by breast cancer and mastectomy. Knockers are hand knit and crocheted by volunteers, sent to Knitted Knockers, and are then distributed to cancer centers and breast cancer survivors. Your donation will help cover postage costs for Knitted Knockers to distribute the prostheses. We encourage you to visit www.knittedknockers.org to learn more about their cause.
Please note: Pattern is not included with this kit but is available on Ravelry along with a description of where pattern proceeds will be donated.
