Felting for Winter
Short days and long nights present the knitter with the perfect time to make accessories to beat the cold. A knitted hat that is then felted makes an attractive and useful addition to a winter wardrobe. The HollyBee Yarns Store in Valdese, North Carolina carries the wool for making such a hat. The store model pictured is made of 90% wool/8% polyester HollyBee Yarn in baby blue and 100% nylon HollyBee Eyelash yarn in reef combo. Other colors are available.
The project is portable and works up quickly. If you are in a hurry, it can be started and finished in a week’s time, provided that you have a few hours each day to knit. Allow 48 hours for it to dry, after you have washed the finished hat and shaped it on a hat form. For yarn, contact http://www.HollyBeeYarns.com. For instructions, see Advice.
