Miss Martha is the resident spinner & dyer at the Folk School, and a kindred spirit. She keeps sheep & angora rabbits and dyes with plants & natural dyes and she cards & spins wool and knits lovely things. I am very pleased to have one of her creations - I've been wearing it all the time since I bought it on Saturday morning on my way home from the Folk School.
This tam (mine!) has handspun wool/angora in natural colors and yarn dyed with indigo and with cochineal.

Our lovely model today is Hedgie, knitted & felted from the Fiber Trends pattern. He looks pretty good in the tam, yes? I just felted a purple one for Ruby, but it still needs to be finished - eyes, nose and a short seam sewn up.

Your new tam is gorgeous. Hedgie is adorable. I'm going to have to check out Fiber Trends website.
The tam is so beautiful!
