Duos for Decker Hat (a design by Joan Forgione), Multiple Color Combos, Merino Linen Aran + special stitch marker

Decker is a lightly slouchy colorwork hat designed in a luxurious blend of worsted-weight merino and linen. You will love how soft it feels! If you haven't used this yarn before you are in for a treat.

Your yarn bundle will be 2 full skeins of Merino Linen Aran and a special stitch marker all festively packaged, perfect for a gift to yourself or a fellow knitter.  If you'd like to add a faux fur pompom look here.

Please note that the pattern is NOT included and can be purchased from the designer on her website HERE or Ravelry HERE.

The model is wearing the Original Colors:  Loganberry + Musk Mallow, but the hat would look great in many combos.  The 2nd  and 3rd pictures are Noir & Barely Gray. If you don't see the combo you want, email me and I'll get it for you.  Please note, only tonals at this time. You can look at our Aran Merino Linen line HERE.

The Yarn:

Two singles are lightly twisted together (two plies) to produce an aran weight yarn. A soft merino and linen blend yarn with texture and a gentle tweedy haze. Nylon free.

The natural linen gives the yarn a textured finish with subtle drape and produces a rustic, almost hand spun look when knitted up. When dyed the linen resists the dye and remains white, producing a halo of linen fibres.
