This page represents a new knit hat style I've developed using lumpier, bulkier yarns. Some of the yarns for these hats are plied for added thickness and interesting effects. Lumpy yarns are spun thick and thin, with emphasis on the thick. My yarns always have some variation, but these are a bit more radical, and many of them include blends of two or three fibers with lots of multi-color hand painting and variegated effects. Since making these 'art yarns' is very time consuming, I can't always make enough myself, so I sometimes purchase some from other spinners: Juaquetta Holcomb at gardenpartyfibers, Tracie Lampe at lampeslumps, Jenn at midnightskysfibers, Melissa at moustacheridesyarn and Jenny at whirledyarn. You can find them all on my Links page. My daughter Alexis has recently learned how to spin and is now helping me out also. She's been making some great yarns, some of which can be seen in the hats below. All hat designs are my own original creations, and no patterns were used. These hats pull down over the ears and are about the same length as the Striped Watch Caps. They are one-size-fits all. It's also possible to wear some of them turned inside out, either down over the ears or turned up. Experiment! Click for enlarged view and more info. |
