We’re taking turns, ok? Yesterday was the purple fluffy bit of business. Today it’s swirly turquoise all the way.
I don’t think I told you anything about the yarn. It’s by Katia, and I think it’s called Concept, though maybe it’s Concept Cotton-Merino (it’s a little hard to tell from the label what the name actually is). Whatever it’s called it’s lovely.
There’s a sort of icord tube in the middle, knit out the cotton thread. And then fluffy tufts of merino are sort of caught in the tube to make it all soft and puffy. I expect it will be astonishingly warm for how light it is (because it should hold lots of air). And while it probably wouldn’t stand up to lots and lots of heavy wear, that’s not how I use my hats, so I don’t think it will be a problem.
Ooh, those colors and that saturation! I need to get that on my needles now.
Did I ever tell you that Dave’s missing hat turned up in my mom’s car 4 months later? I knit him a quick & dirty one out of aran/light bulky weight yarn in the meantime. Now I can get back to knitting him Nilas in my lovely Madtosh
Wow! That is so pretty! Does anyone ever offer to buy the hat you are wearing?
