Hats of Many Colors




Normally I design my bulky Angora hat in two styles: A solid natural color design as seen on the left or a natural color combined with dyed color in various different way of stripes.



     After a while I've cumulate small balls of dyed Angora yarns that are not enough for one pattern.   This hat is done with natural cream with purple and pink yarns left from cream/pink and cream/purple hats.  



I still have the dyed pink and purple Angora yarns left, combined with some blue and green leftover yarns, another interesting combination hat is created.



In addition to making hats with dyed Angora yarns, I also make colored fingerless mittens.   Fingerless mittens require thinner/finer spun.   I got a lot of thinner/finer dyed yarns in various length left from making mittens, each individual ball is not enough to make another pair of mittens.    A light bulb moment, why not put two strands together and use them as part of a hat?   Here it is, There are purple, pink, red, plum, blue, green…. all put together.   It's actually quite pretty.   Can it be a counter part of Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors"?
