NB Hat No2

I designed and made this needle binding winter hat. No, there is no design for it. Typical for needle binding is that they are made "on you". It means you bind a bit, try it on, keep going on until finished. I used our own AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool, 10% nylon). I plant dyed the yarns by weld (reseda), onion, lupin and reed. I used Finnish stitch (2+3 F2). I crocheted the flowers and leaves for the decoration.

It is FashionNOW slow craft and I plan to wear with wollen jumpers. This hat matches with the shade of my pale eyes. 😍
