Larch Hat
Love our knits? Join our mailing list to be kept up to date on new designs and sales!
The western larch can be found in the valleys and lower slopes of BC’s Southern Interior. This large, handsome tree is often found on the fire blackened soil left after a severe wildfire. Its wood, one of the strongest in Western Canada, is often used for heavy construction and railways.
Worked in your favorite solid, or four coordinating colours, this squishy, textured hat is the perfect stash-buster project!
