hat, meet cowl, meet hood. This is a cozy, handknit, checkerboard patterned balaclava fit for your chilliest of outdoor dinner dates, or snowiest of ski resorts. This piece is limited as the yarn I am using for it is part of my back-stock and I will not be sourcing it again, because it’s not made in the US. See next bullet point for more on this :)

• 70% Merino Wool, 30% Baby Alpaca. Sourcing domestic wool is super important to me in order to both support and encourage a more local fibershed, as well as to cut down on carbon emissions and fossil fuel usage in transportation.

• COLORS: natural (shown on Angela) and periwinkle

• One size. This piece may feel a bit snug at first but relaxes a lot with wear.

Handmade to order. Please allow 3-4 weeks for production.

Caring for your knitwear:

Wool is an incredible fiber that has naturally occurring antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, which means that it needs washing much less than other fibers. Air out your woolen between wears, and store with an herbal sachet or in a cedar box, and you’ll find that you rarely, if ever, need to give it a full washing.

When you do need to wash, hand washing in cool water is recommended. Use a no-rinse wool wash, and do not agitate while washing. Squeeze water out (don’t wring it!), then roll in a towel to remove excess water, gently reshape, and lay flat to dry.
