Warning! This yarn may cause Stage 2 Hypothermia, as defined by Wikipedia:
- Body temperature drops by 2°C - 4°C (3.6°F - 7.2°F, or between 95°F - 91.4°F). Shivering becomes more violent. Muscle miscoordination becomes apparent. Movements are slow and labored, accompanied by a stumbling pace and mild confusion, although the victim may appear alert. Surface blood vessels contract further as the body focuses its remaining resources on keeping the vital organs warm. Victim becomes pale. Lips, ears, fingers and toes may become blue.
Isn't it amazing what marketing folks will write into advertisements?
hmm. what shade do you think would be most flattering against blue skin?
ReplyDeletePeach. Warms the skin tones.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. Knit one for all your enemies!
ReplyDeleteSo, what are you going to make... and who will you make it for? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe only possible use I could see is clothing for feverish patients. I don't know any at the moment, but perhaps infectious disease wards would be interested in Cold Caps.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. And our office thought the "Cold War" was over. Better call a meeting.
ReplyDeleteWow! That could come in handy down in here the deep south with all the heat and humidity. It gets way too freaking hot here. Man, knit up a few tanks with the stuff and you'd make a fortune selling them. I know people who'd just beg for blue skin during July and August.
ReplyDeleteStranger and stranger stuff to knit with. Do your fingers get cold knitting it? Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteYou may laugh now, but at the rate that the global warming is progressing, you'll be sorry... (insert smiley here)
ReplyDeleteDid you catch the ceramic part? Wonder if it clanks, LOL! Ceramic means a combination of a metal with a nonmetal but is different from a salt. Could they mean one of their dyes? Ceramics are also indestructible, which is why old pottery shards are still around today. Wonder how it feels.
ReplyDeleteWell now I'm intrigued about it. Think I'll ask the company for some info.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought of another, for-real use: cool-ties for our troops in Iraq. IF it truly works. Maybe they'll send a free skein for a good cause? Think I'll ask.
Good catch on this one. What advertisers will say! But, if it was cooler in summer, this yarn would be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I enjoy a good laugh.
