Just like that song you can’t get out of your head, we can’t seem to keep hats off the needles right now. Not only are they a must have winter accessory for the relentless winter winds and days on end of lake effect snow that keeps us tucked-in for the season here at the Megs & Co headquarters in Western NY, hats are also the perfect quick holiday gift making project. For that reason we have curated the A Song in My Head Hat Kit Collection full of cozy and warmth to inspire your next project.

Each kit contains 1 skein of Folk Song, our aran weight superwash merino wool base, paired with 1 skein of Head in the Clouds, our new mohair and silk lace weight base, and comes with an accompanying hand stuffed luxurious faux fur pom pom.

Whether you still need to cast-on that last minute holiday make, are searching for the perfect gift for your favorite fiber loving friend, or simply want to craft your own cozy, these kits are a perfectly simple way to bring in a little cozy and luxury.

A few of our favorite patterns written specifically for holding a strand of mohair lace together with worsted weight wool include:  

 Pull the Wool Over by Espace Tricot 

 Twistmas by Espace Tricot 

 Winter Bliss Toque by Sentry Box Designs 

 All patterns can be purchased directly from the designer on Ravelry.  

 And Speaking of Our New Base!

We are so excited to announce the release of the brand new yarn base Head in the Clouds. This luxurious blend of kid mohair and silk is the perfect complement to any project that needs an extra serving of cozy and warmth.

To celebrate the release, we just couldn’t resist creating a brand-new colorway collection that would embody and highlight this gorgeous fiber. The Raise Your Spirits Colorway Collection features eight vibrantly jewel toned colors inspired by some of our favorite celebratory cocktails to help bring a little spirit and shine to your next project. 2020 may be the year of firsts and worsts, but that doesn't mean we can't look ahead and toast to a brighter future on the horizon. Be sure to check out the details section of each listing to find the recipe each color is named for and imbibe on a festive and fun fiber adventure.

 Last But Not Least

 The shop update will also include a very small limited release of my holiday colorway Blue Without You. This color was originally dyed as a livestreamed yarn dying demonstration for the holiday shopping edition of the Virtu-Wool Fiber Festival. Meg loved the color so much, and needed some for her own stash so once the cameras were off, she dyed up a second batch. Available on Folk Song, DK Merino, and Classic Sock.

If you want to learn more about the dye process you can watch the live stream on Facebook.
