Straw Hat Adventures

I have been working on making wide-brim sun hats and narrow-brim fedoras using Tunisian simple stitch (I like it for hats because it has a nice woven look) for several weeks now. I have experimented with different kinds of “fake” straw yarns and combining them with other yarn for unique effects. And in doing so, I’ve learned some things about combining different yarn types and buying yarn from the internet sight unseen (other than the pictures in the descriptions). Things don’t always turn out as you’d expect. Sometimes it’s not what you wanted at all. And sometimes it’s better than what you hoped for. Take a look!
