Cuprum Riding Hat - Cloche Series



I love this color... it is one of my favorites. In fact, I have a whole stash of fabrics, pieces of clothing from thrift stores, etc, stored under my bed. They have been there for years.... Someday they will become something else. I always remember them whenever I am working on something else in the color Copper.

This is "Cuprum", (which is Latin for copper). These cloche style hats arecharming, don't make me sweat in this hot weather and are just plan fun to play with.

Inca Stories "Woods Basket Weave"

Inca Stories "Woods Basket Weave"

Deep in the woods colour. Ridges and lacework run around the back perimeter and it is embellished with three tassels. The two side tassels are topped with a vintage button from my personal collection and a silver metal hand cut tube bead.

This is a beautiful combination of hand dyed wool, wool/hemp and a touch of cotton. This combination creates a lightweight yet warm hat. It is one of the few hats that I make that is totally crochet. She can be found at my 1000Markets shop. Http://DreamWoven.1000Markets.com

Inca Stories "Sun Basket"


The Pine needle basket weaving of Grizzly Mountain Arts were the jumping off points for the last couple of Inca hats. I am so thoroughly enjoying them that I created another (the one below sold the next day :) ) and have already started a third.

Attitude Hat - New Colourway!



The Hat with Attitude.

Great for those with dreads, as well as those without, perfect for a bad-hair day. Have fun - that's what it's all about..... Don't try to hide though, because with this hat you will be found!

This Attitude Hat is full of vibrant rich colors.. greens, violets, raspberry and russet brown.. a turbulent mix! This is insanely beautiful stuff, exquisitely hand dyed. It is handknit by me and is hand dyed wool. The hat can be worn any way you want... any colour showing up front, piled up on your head, dragged to the side or with all your hair tucked up inside. It's up to you!

It's your Attitude to fit your mood! Also.. .there is a lot of room for you to squoosh those dreads, or extra long hair, up into the hat, if you want to :)

It measures approx. 10.5" (26.7 cm) when laid flat and approx. 13" (33 cm) when stretched out. Because of its construction, it can be worn by a variety of head sizes. But please, measure your head by using a measuring tape around your crown, going around the largest part of your head. For reference only, the mannequin head circumference is 21" (53.3 cm). All hats made from this colourway will have the exact same colours, but placement will vary.

This is a one of a kind... you wont see anyone else walking around with this on... The only pre-requisite to wearing this hat is that you do it with ATTITUDE!

Art For Your Head "Ambrato"

Art For Your Head "Ambrato"

She is made from bits and pieces of fulled (felted) merino, alpaca, llama.... needle felted to achieve the 3 dimensional quality (the ridges and ruffles in the back)... I used an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous amber ("Ambrato"), honey, butterscotch, hand dyed merino as the accenting colour to the different shades of greys and browns.   The embellishment of the domed vintage wood button (very reminiscent of the contours of the hat itself) along with the handsewn Adventurine beads, makes for a wonderful focal point.  For more pics please see:  http://DreamWoven.com/HatsWrapsAlone.htm

Soon to be available at:
