This yarn order was an addition to the skeins I have purchased so I have a range of combinations. Two contrasting skeins for a very reasonable price produce a hat and set of mittens from your patterns. Started with a kit and am replicating it with the addition of more yarns.quick projects. Comfy and warm. And, as always, great customer service. I played with the pattern and added some hat rows to the brim, eliminated the braid, and dyed corrugated rib. Did three needle bo for the mittens.,and am now going to remake in other colors.

Briggs & Little Heritage Yarn
I have a weakness for this rustic Canadian yarn, I have used a few different types from this company. My favorite color is any shade of purple. When I saw the picture in the Woolly Thistle email of these two new shades of purple, I had to have them. Ignoring my plan to use up my stash, I ordered them right away. The yarn is great for warm garments.
