-
Do not pin notes directly onto the blankets you turn in.
-

-
No wool fabric (quilts) or wool yarn (afghans) as it is typically not washable.
-
No Large, Loopy Holes in the Afghans. Normal holes such as granny squares are accepted. More dense patterns are preferred so they don't get caught on fingers and hospital cords.
