    fair argyle cap
    {Erda Kappeler}

    This cheerful cap has the look of complicated colorwork but uses only two yarns. Erda
    Kappeler washed the Merino/Corriedale cross fleece by hand and spun the yarn woolen, then
    dyed one skein a strong blue and painted the other to self-stripe. She paired the yarn with an
    argyle motif from a weaving pattern and created this bold take on a classic.
