I fell in love with the colors of the Un-spun Icelandic from Schoolhouse Press and decided a cute, bucket style hat was in order. The fact that these gigantic wheels of pencil roving turn into such a warm, sturdy and beautiful fabric amazes me. The motif on this hat reminds me of the stopper on a favorite bottle of perfume. The hat decreases to a five-petaled flower representing the blossom of the peach note at the heart of the fragrance.
