My new favorite hat is a love letter to farm yarn.
The most beautiful worsted weight natural color Shetland yarn from
@wingandaprayerfarm which is about an hour from me.
Farmer Tammy is a magical being who cares for her flock and garden with a rugged determination that also prioritizes beauty and creativity. In a small space, she makes the most of her diverse breeds and their fleece as well as a rainbow of natural dyes.
It is a pleasure to work with this fiber, knowing that these sheep and I walk the same hills. I can’t explain it but I had a lot of capital F feelings while making this, especially on the heels of my trip to Rhinebeck, which filled my heart with awe for our woolly community.
If you don’t have a Tammy nearby, I urge you to check out the cool farm stand near you and if they have their own yarn, give it a whirl. Clothing is agriculture! Local is everything!
The pattern is a free one from
@dererumnatura and is called the “gwedenn” hat. 🐑❤️🐑
