Rainbow hats are available
in fine handspun mohair or wool. Each hat is unique and
one-of-a-kind. These fiber art hats are created in the same spirit
as one would approach the creation of a painting or other art project.
It is impossible to make two alike. I call them rainbow hats
because they're created from a blending of many different colors.
Each color is dyed separately. I then blend the colors together
with my carding brushes and spin the bats into variegated yarn.
So, you may order a custom hat similar to, but not exactly the same, as
those pictured below. When ordering, it's best to specify one to
three main colors. Sizes are basically small, medium, large, and
x-large. The mohair hats tend to stretch out a bit with wear
(somewhat more than the wool hats), so keep that in mind when deciding
which size to order. These hats are extremely soft to the touch and also
tend to be quite water repellant, as with all my winter hats, because
the fiber used has not been stripped of its natural lanolin with the
harsh chemicals used in commercial processing. Mohair is softer and silkier, and has a lovely sheen to
it, while wool is more matte in appearance. You
may custom order a hat between January and September according to
directions on the
How
to Order page.
These hats are extremely labor intensive, so I don't make a lot of them.
2/17 *Sorry, but it
looks like I'm sold out of these again. Will make more ASAP.
Been very busy lately.
