Hand spun Malabrigo Angora doesn’t go far, but it so precious. A ribbed band runs around the ears and adds extra warmth while merino finishes the hat off while using up the last little bit of the angora. Worked as either a beanie or slouch.

The Malabrigo Angora has stretch and therefore the hat has a negative ease of several inches. Fitting a 22-24” head easily.
