The weather has finally cooled here - we dipped into the 60's last night and it feels great! Of course, nowhere near as cool as Montana for our vacation 2 weeks ago, where the temps were in the 30's and 40's. Still, cool weather makes it nicer to knit with wool, and I decided I wanted a new hat. A RED hat. So I dug into my extensive fiber stash and came up with some lovely tonal red targhee wool, dyed by Mountain Colors:
I spun it up into a lovely bouncy 2-ply worsted weight yarn:
And knit myself a hat!
I won't get much use out of it here, alas. But anytime we can get away and go back to the mountains, I'm ready!
That spun up beautifully! The hat looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking hat!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a great color and it turned out beautifully. It's prudent to keep a nice warm cap in one's wardrobe!
