This hat is knit with a new yarn from Lorna’s Laces called
Masham Worsted, 70% British Wool & 30% Masham wool. I am not sure which
colorway it is, maybe Cornelia. It is a great yarn to knit with. I would love
to knit something else with it.
The pattern is the Beaufort Hat (it is a free Ravelry download). I had originally tried a different pattern and I did not like it all. I have knit this hat pattern before and I really like the pattern.
It is easy to remember and it goes quickly. I do not know that this is the best
colorway to use for this hat. But I like how it looks like waves. It would think it would be great in a solid or tonal yarn.
Here is a picture of a Masham sheep. Isn’t it the cutest
thing??
If you scroll down on this page, you can get more info about
them. I am glad that Lorna’s is using a rarer breed for this yarn. There are
many breeds of sheep and some are quite rare and if no one uses the wool, they
will disappear forever.
