Let your imagination run free

Over the next few days I'm going to post and blog about some handmade items that I am now relisting in my etsy store.

First up is this gorgeous wool hand crocheted and felted hat.


Split Rock Ranch One-of-A-Kind Original

PEACE ROSE

Designer Hat Hand Crocheted and Felted from Wool Yarn
with Novelty Needle Felted Wool Locks Hatband

This gorgeous designer hat was hand crocheted from 100% wool yarn in salmon, pink and coral colors then slightly fulled/felted, then hand finished and shaped. It has a needle felted hat band made from hand dyed border leicester locks and a rolled brim. The BL locks were dyed in yellow, pink and vermillion and those colors blended to create some beautiful deep orange colors, as well. I hand selected small batches of matching locks and needle felted them in layers around the entire brim of the hat.

The inside of the hat measures approximately 25 inches and can stretch to accomodate a larger head. There is a hand crocheted band made from matching wool yarn woven through the hat just under the hatband to allow sizing of the hat.

Thank you, Jill. It was a blast to make. And it is certainly a One of A Kind since the locks are a OOAK handdyed batch. I have more of the yarn, but the hat band will be different if I do another one.
