Neapolitan Crochet Hat!

Look at this wonderful hat my customer Alicia made! She crocheted this out of my Neapolitan boucle yarn! I'm working on spinning her another skein for a matching scarf! It's so cool to see something so great made with my yarn! Thank you for letting me share this picture (and stay-tuned, she'll be selling her cool crochet soon!)

New Orleans Midnight

When I first started knitting, I knit a twisty scarf with some Novelty Yarns from Numei and a purple acrylic. It reminded me of when I was in New Orleans, on Bourbon Street, so I called it New Orleans Midnight. This yarn uses some of those same novelty yarns, and is plied with one as well, thus the names. Both are spun from handdyed domestic wool from PoppyFlowerFibers.
