Handwoven Maisie hat.

I just finished making this Maisie hat and I need to wax eloquent for a moment…I love this fabric!!! O.K. that wasn’t exactly eloquent, but I don’t know how else to put it. I love that in choosing to have this fabric made for me by Marrie, of Double Whale Handwoven Designs, that money is kept circulating in my community, but it’s more than that. The fabric is truly more beautiful than any machine made fabric. I did actually consider trying to find another source of fabric to keep the cost down, but once you see such beautiful quality there is no going backwards.

Marrie had thought she could not weave me any more of this fabric, but I whined and begged and she has agreed to try again. My next batch of two colours will be coming at some point soon. Can’t wait to share it with you.
