Shetland Wool/Silk Beanie

This time I used shetland fleece carded with silk to give this unusual yarn when spun up, not quite as soft as the merino. I couldn't help but dye it with earthy colours, rust and dark brown . This style has the double rib band and using circular needles knitted three rows of plain then three rows of purl.



This style is for the larger head with lots of hair. Double rib band and with circular needles knitted plain.
The dye makes it show a random pattern.

Shetland fleece carded with silk is a coarser fibre, but it sure to last a very long time if the wearer treats it with lots of care.
