This hat is a swatch cap also from Charlotte Wolfe's yarn that she had processed at Woolyknob Fiber Mill, and made into yarn. This yarn is a blend of cotswold, alpaca, and romney? I believe. It knit up about 4.5 sts - 1" on a size 8 needles. Only took 2 hours to make. Nice quick project! Give Charlotte a call if you would be interested in her yarn. There is this rag natural white and brown, dark brown, and dark charcoal gray. Email me if you would like her number.
