In Life and Hats, There are No Repeats!

Color, Color, Color explodes in my gardens all summer long. With long, dark, cold winters, I decided to create Winter Flowers on my one of a kind crocheted hats!

In order to get the color and texture of the plants and blossoms, I custom blend yarns that will bring summer back to us. The colors of the flowers also come from blending yarns and once in a while, I will dye the colors I want or will find a person that hand dyes yarns that work in creating the flower details.

There are so many delightful flowers and I always love best whatever is blossoming right now. In my life, I have now I have Christmas Cacti and Sunflower Hats and maybe a Lupine Hat as well.

My hats are created with blended yarns that show off the color and texture of the Maine gardens and landscapes. For these hats the base is a combination of yarns that don’t trigger allergies, acrylics, cottons, rayons, chenilles and other blends. The flowers are often mixes of hand dyed wool, mohair, wool, acrylic and other mixes that I custom blend before I start crocheting.

This Sculptured Sunflower is a large hat, fun to wear for any size head because it holds it shape so proudly!

A recognized Traditional Artist, I continue to explore creating wearable art that celebrates Maine through flowers and landscapes. Learn more about my work at No Repeats Fiberworks/About.
