Albizia
Pam Allen
This lovely hat and mitts set, is knit in three colors for a variety of combinations to suit any taste. Originally designed in Owl, our delightfully squishy wool/alpaca blend yarn, we think Albizia would be equally stunning in three shades of our worsted weight wool yarn, Lark! Choose three variations of the same tone for a modern ombré effect, or stick with undyed neutrals, or a few pops of color. Though the pattern appears complex, you’re never holding more than two colors at a time, making this an engaging, meditative knit that results in a bright and sophisticated finish.
