Re: custom dread hats
Fri, December 28, 2007 - 9:25 AMFirst of all, I hope no one minds me posting like this. I know some people might see it as spam, so I'm a little wary to sell my hats on here. I just thought, well, I know people with dreads need hats and they are so hard to find... so offering custom hats would be a great thing.
I spin my own yarn, so if you tell me your favorite colors I can incorporate them into the hat really nicely. I love muted tones, but the way it works is that even bright colors when carded and blended together really mellow out. It might take me up to two weeks to make your hat starting from scratch, but what you will have is a totally unique hat that you basically design. I just spin your wishes and crochet your vision. If you want a rasta style tam.. super wide... or deep and narrow.. it's your choice. Send me a picture or describe what you want and I can make it. Want a gnome pointy elf hat? I do those too. If you already have yarn you want me to use, just mail it to me. A picture of yourself would really help, since I am a very intuitive when it comes to making hats. I've made thousands in my lifetime probably. And, I love it!
To discuss pricing and such, I'd feel more comfortable if you just email me so I don't ruffle anyone's feathers. folkmaiden@yahoo.com.

Re: custom dread hats
Sun, December 30, 2007 - 8:17 AMWell, I am so blessed that there is a yarn/fiber store in Boulder called "Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins". They have what is called roving, which is combed wool dyed in different colors. Yesterday I bought 3 different browns and a nice olive green which I am going to comb together and spin into a multicolored yarn for one hat. I got some undyed naturally brown alpaca in 3 different colors of brown for another hat. The alpaca I'll have to process myself before I spin it, but the rest is pretty much ready to spin. I also got some marino wool roving that was a beautiful blend of colors maroon, blues and greens... its going to make a nice hat. Marino is super soft. Alpaca is the warmest wool there is, and it is also super soft also. I've got to get spinning!
I'll try to take some pics today of the rovings and fiber I got and post it on my blog so you guys can see what I mean. -
