Shetland Wool Week 2014: Shwook Hat


Shwook HatWith Shetland Wool Week just days away, I dug into my stash of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift that I had leftover from making the Beezy’s Traditional Beret last year to get started on my Shwook Hat.

I can certainly say that when you buy Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift, you are bound to get at least a few hats from it or bits and pieces to use in other projects.  Amazing how 25 g of shetland wool can go on forever.  To my advantage, I suppose.

The Shwook Hat calls for three darks and two lights if using what is on hand.  This is what I decided on.  For the darks: bark brown, deep heather green, and a maroon red.  For the lights: apple green and yellow-tint oatmeal.  I think they will work just fine.  You can hardly go wrong with fair isle.  It would take some pretty putrid colors to really fail.

Even if you are not attending in person, you can keep up on the week’s events and the blog virtually from anywhere.   Feel in the mood for pictures only, take a look at the gallery.

Where ever you are next week, play with wool!
