Just about the warmest hat you can make, worked with double-stranded pure wool RCY Epic Yarn, with the addition of the fantastic super-bulky weight handpainted merino to create a built-in lining. With all the charm and warmth of a traditional thrummed hat, this thrummish version is easier to knit. Check out our Thrummish Mittens for a super warm and completely coordinated winter set!
This hat is warm! We used our RCY Epic yarn double stranded to create a densely knit base and add in super soft, bulky and squishy Fleece Artist Flouf to create the bright "thrummish" hearts and line the inside of this hat with an extra layer of merino wool warmth.
