Ava's Bunny Hat!

I finished Ava's bunny hat last week. It is so cute. I love it!!! The pattern is in the book, Itty-Bitty Hats, by Susan B. Anderson. The yarn I used was the Sublime Kid Mohair. I thought the yarn was perfect for the hat because of the little bit of fuzz.

The hat is really easy to make. If you have never seen the book, you are missing out on the cutest baby hats ever.

Sherbet Vists Charlotte Yarn

Lothie came in the other day and brought her cute little friend, Sherbet. Sherbet is an angora bunny rabbit and is the softest and fluffiest thing ever.

You can spin the bunny's fur into angora yarn. Angora is very fine and warm. As natural fiber, it breathes, allowing body moisture to escape, keeping the wearer dry, as well as warm. It is ideal for winter clothing. Many people who find sheep's wool too irritable and scratchy, find Angora a wonderful alternative for warmth and comfort. So the next time you reach for that beautiful angora yarn, think of Sherbet.
