Island Knitwear

Hand-knit wool hats are my canvas.  Within this small footprint I find lots of room to play with color and visual texture.  The tactile nature of fiber, yarn and cloth grabs me in a way that no other craft does.

My hats are all my original design, and are exclusively made from natural fibers including wool, mohair, alpaca and silk.  I source the fiber locally as much as possible and I hand-dye or spin most of my yarns.  I love mixing colors, both in the dying and carding processes, as well as while knitting.

No two hats are the same. They may use the same pattern, but colors and details are different.
