Colorwork Cap Kit in Felted Tweed
$90.95
From Churchmouse: This little cap is a delicious taste of stranded colorwork. We skipped the typical shading of traditional Fair Isle design but kept the guideline of using only two colors per round to keep it simpler for first time stranders!
One kit is enough to make four hats in complementary colours
Kit includes: 4 balls of Rowan Felted Tweed and digital or physical Colorwork Cap pattern.
