Camellia Hat Pattern

This very special yarn is spun by hand in our Nashville studio on one of our beloved Spinolution wheels. Bulky, thick-and-thin, beautifully irregular...this yarn inspires free- form crochet work and chunky, gaugeless knits. Our handspun yarn is made from soft, puffy, USA- grown Targhee wool.
