Little Tang Mo's tiger-head hat was cute, but it wasn't warm enough and was also too small. Su Li had been wanting to find a warm hat for him to wear, but there were none at home.
For the past couple of days, Su Li had been feeling a bit guilty, worried that Little Tang Mo might catch a cold. That was why she couldn't tear herself away when she saw the yarn.
After some consideration, she picked out blue and green yarn. Well, to say she "picked and chose" was an exaggeration. In this era, there weren't many colors of yarn available—only red, green, and blue.
The blue was for knitting a hat for Little Tang Mo, and with the leftovers, she could also make him an outfit. The green yarn was for herself.
Ready-made clothes were scarce in this era, and in Su Li's opinion, they were genuinely ugly and shapeless. It was far better to buy yarn and knit something herself.
