This is a warm hat! With about a third of it being chiengora it better be. Mixed up everything in my leftover fluff basket and blended in some green. And interesting spin and a joy to knit.

The husky that donated his fiber for this blend will always be appreciated. Husky, alpaca, silk and wool all went into the dye pot to result in a soft and semi dense yarn I knit into this great slouchy

This is probably my favorite hat! I named this hat "Red John" in honor of Big John, the great pyr whose fiber was brushed and harvested to help create it. I meet him when visiting a friend's
