Nature and Artifice: two seeming opposites, but are they really? Who’s to say where nature leaves off and artifice begins?

This collection uses different yarns with similar all-over cables to get very different effects. The Artifice Hat (and matching cowl) uses a single-ply yarn with a slight thick-and-thin texture that gives the finished project a nice, polished look. The hat is long enough to cover your ears and keep you as warm as if you never left the house.
