Hat season is here! Run (or zoom) to your stash and grab two fingering weight yarns, along with something fluffy, such as mohair or something equally haze-y, cast on and zoom! Before you know it, you have a delightfully cozy hat! Not only does this recipe encourage you to play with mixing color and texture, it’s a wonderful stash-buster, too.

The Lamb & Kid Trio
Trio is our new custom-milled trifecta of merino, cashmere, and nylon. Trio is both hard working and delightful. Its merino content provides beautiful texture and memory, the cashmere brings a sumptuous hand, and the hint of nylon takes dye vibrantly and gives added structure in draping and durability. We adore Trio and we hope you will too! Trio is perfect for wardrobe staples from sweaters to accessories. Trio knows no bounds!

You will receive a skein from this colorway, but not the exact skein pictured. • Due to our “dyed in the wool” process, each skein we produce is unique, even within a dyelot. • If you have specific color preferences, please leave a note in the box at checkout. • We recommend buying your entire yardage requirement for your project in the same transaction, so that we can hand select skeins that match.
For high contrast colorwork, we recommend steam blocking to avoid color transfer. • Some dyes are notoriously difficult to set, and may exhaust some color even after our final wash. • Please keep this in mind if you are combining any hand dyed yarn with a light color in the same project. • If you plan to combine a hand dyed yarn, especially a very saturated colorway, with a lighter yarn, we suggest you test your darker skeins for possible color transfer by soaking them first. • To wash your knitwear, a quick cold water dip with a no-rinse wool wash is recommended.
