Winter Head Gear
From Fibre to Hat in 2 days
This lovely fibre a wool and silk blend, hand dyed by Amanda Hannaford and named 'STRATA', was too irresistible to leave in the bag to be gazed at and stroked. It called out to be spun.
My hubby wanted a balaclava since I made one for his father last year.
The pattern was written for DK yarn so I had to knit a tension square, with 3.5mm needles, then adapt the pattern accordingly, thankfully, not difficult with such a simple pattern.
As the weather has changed to autumnal it was finished just in time for him to go out picking the apples on our trees and others shaken onto the grass by the wind.
