My granddaughter, Tirzah, is off to Rwanda this fall to work withPaul Rusesabagina ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rusesabagina), stay at Hotel Rwanda, and work in the orphange. (remember she needs knit hats for african orphanage! see Tirzah's blog by pushing her button that Canadagirl's Prince Philip made for her)
To help raise money for her mission trip Sarah of Perfect Day Yarns has taken up Tirzah's heart cry (http://www.perfectdayyarns.com/) She is dying up sock yarn “Path of Hope” colourway, dyed to match the Rwanda flag (blue, green and yellow ). $7 of each skein will go towards Tirzah's trip with PEACE.

Since I know your hearts and know  you are interested in a skein we are doing pre-orders now, so we can get an idea of how many to dye up. We don't want Sarah to have to block out too much time, dye too many or too few. So whether you want one or a dozen, leave a note on the blog or email me. You could even use it to knit a baby cap.

Mrs. Jeannette Kagame, First Lady of the Republic of Rwanda said, “As a nation, we’ve decided not to surrender. As a nation, we’ve seen the worst, and the people have learned a lot. We’ve taken stock of the past, and we’re building on it to change it. We are now on the path of hope, instead of despair. The path of hope includes partnership with the institution of the church and with individual churches in Rwanda."

I hope you will consider helping bring Hope to Rwanda one skein of yarn at a time.

Information Knitters will understand and I don't!

My Daughter says, The yarn is Merino yarn that is being hand dyed. And it is 21.95 a skein plus Shipping and handling and out of that pricing, Tirzah get's $7.00 which is pretty much the profit after buying the yarn and dyeing it. Man I hope that makes since to you guys that actually know what i am talking about.
