barn coat hat

Liberty of London squares – I’m starting my first quilt!
Barn Coat Hat in wool to match this coat.
A simple hat but made of beautiful materials. Soft, organic wool from Swans Island Yarns. Even though the hat is really soft, I’d like to add a lining for extra warmth. My attempts at sewing one to the hat have been unsuccessful. I set up Fiber Hacker – a site to get help with all things fiber related – knitting, sewing, weaving….. Please visit if you have any thoughts on lining a hand knit hat.

Found these wrist warmers I designed and knit last Fall while getting out my favorite sweater from storage. Wish they were a different color. Oh well, they are still warm!

On my worktable: a skein from Swans Island Yarns and a pretty stamp from a letter received in the mail last week. I also have a skein in pink which I started knitting yesterday – a hat in a color that perfectly matches the little recipient’s barn coat. Lots to love about this yarn: organic merino, naturally dyed and it’s really soft! (I imagine their blankets are wonderful too!)
