I grow 70 different Lavenders on the Nursery, so it was inevitable I designed something featuring a Lavender theme! This is a geometric interpretation of the fields of Lavender grown commercially, stretching out in brilliant purple rows.
The use of the Whistlebare Mohair/Wensleydale yarn adds a lovely halo to the Lavender, contrasted with the plain green wool. It also makes for an exceptionally warm hat!
