Beanies are best.  This one is made with beautiful black wool.  Val Hornibrook rescues black sheep and keeps them on her farm in Capel.  Warms your heart as well as your head; what's not to love?

Hats

Designer Sue Smorthwaite

Is this not amazing?? 

Sue's life past, present and future is embedded into this "scarat" (so called because it's a hat and scarf combined).    Yes we know - cunning.    It's such a  time saving idea - life is short.
Created at our recent Marjolein Dallinga workshop.
