My hand dyed fiber and hand spun. Main colors were spun as thick as I could, spun some thick thin, too. Contrast colors were core spun using novelty yarn (pink one) or cotton quilters thread (blue one).

Pink hat CO 24 knit as above. Made a pompom out of wensleydale/corriedale. Next time use only corriedale since you can’t see the vibrant colors of the wensleydale anyway.
