Last year Liat published the Aspen Ice cowl, the first of her exclusive patterns for Magnolia Handspun.
With more yarn left over I decided to knit a slouchy hat to in the same sts. pattern.
Since then, we’ve been getting so many requests for “the hat that goes with the Aspen Ice cowl” that Liat re-created the hat and publish the hat pattern
so you could have it.
This is an easy and fast pattern for hand spun yarn
The repeating lace pattern makes a spiral that looks fantastic with a lot of different of textures, colors and thicknesses.
This chunky hat pattern is

ReplyDeleteThis yarn is beautiful and looks wonderful as the Aspen Ice Hat! After staring at the yarn I came up with Calliope. The Greek translation is, having a beautiful voice, and this yarn speaks to me beautifully! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI think "Pinky promise" is a funny name for this yarn ^_^
Fun/great looking hat and what fun yarn -- how about "Winter Sherbet" for a name?
ReplyDeleteI am "Blown Away" viewing your DK weight yarns - lovely work, vibrant earth tones :-)
ReplyDeleteDo you sell sample charts of your skeins? Shine ON* Katie
(MsWolfdeck) Have no idea how to sign this with the profiler, but Liat has my email!!!
Banana Blueberry Split, since it is kind of like a banana split with a few extra blueberries thrown in for taste.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is Funky Blueberry to me. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteHow about grape crush?
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy as a color!

I've been anxiously awaiting this contest since Liat first blurbed about it on facebook. The hat is gorgeous, the yarn is gorgeous, and your hair is gorgeous! I know, your hair has nothing to do with the yarn or hat or contest, but I just had to throw that in, 'cause it really is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow about "wheatgrass" for a handspun name?
This is the first time I've heard of and visited your shops and it definitely looks like a shopping trip is in order in the very near future! As for the yarn names... how about a name to honor the hat and cowl patterns? Aspen Dreams, Aspen Delight, Aspen Dazzle...
ReplyDeleteA general name could be something like 'Nature's Bounty' or 'Dancing Fauna (or Flora)' :)
This reminds me of Bubble Gum! I think that would be a good name for it :)
ReplyDeleteIceberg Sunrise. See http://grey-sky-morning.tumblr.com/post/883480138/sunsurfer-iceberg-sunrise-derickson-bay
ReplyDeleteTangled Rainbows is my idea for a name.
ReplyDeleteHow about Geranium to go with the Delphinium. (See the poem about the dormouse and the doctor by AA Milne.) :)
ReplyDeleteVery Nice, Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWinterlicious would be a fun name for yarn
When I look at this yarn, all I can see are wildflowers - so how about "Mountain Meadow?" It's gorgeous whatever you call it!
ReplyDelete(yarnydragonfly on ravelry)
Beautiful yarn!
ReplyDeleteThe yarn reminds me of a painter's dropcloth so I pick
"Dropcloth".
I would love to work with this yarn! I think a great yarn name would be Peacock - in the blue/green/bronze hues (my favorites)!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought "Widdershins" would make a great name for handspun...
ReplyDeleteWe (my baby in my belly and I...I'm due today) LURV LUV LOVE the name Sparrow's Fandangoliciousness!
ReplyDeleteI immediately think of 2 blue sparrows dancing and flying and twirling through the air. I would make a matching baby hat with this trés expensive and yummy yarn. Delightful.
;)
Amberly and Belly Bebe
I think 'spun fun' would be a good yarn name
ReplyDeleteHow about "Wonderfulness" (apologies to Bill Cosby)
ReplyDeleteHow about "Prairie Flower" for a yarn-color-name?
ReplyDeleteThe handspun effect makes me think of variable-sized strands in nature- how about "Spirulina" ?

My Aunt Gloria is a master gardener. These colors remind me of her flowerbeds, bursting with color throughout the summer! So, I think "Gloria's Gardens" would be my choice. :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...if you're feeling highly motivated and the sheep/goats/camelids/fields are being really productive...how about a themed series: Amber Waves (yellows/browns), Purple Majesties (purples, purples/greens), Spacious Skies (blues/light grays/whites), perhaps with silver metallics in the Majesties and Skies skeins.
ReplyDeleteThis is a heavenly yarn so how about "Heaven's Hands"
ReplyDeletefor some reason i think of cotton candy. and i don't even like cotton candy! go figure
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors - I think of "Sunsets & Snowdrifts"
