Christmas Berries and Icicles

Limited Edition - Newborn Luxe Reversible Pixie Bonnet Hat - Christmas Berries and Icicles - Christmas Collection

 

A very special newborn luxe pixie bonnet hat is now in the shop. "Christmas Berries and Icicles", my newest addition to the luxe line, is a combination of an undyed handspun merino wool yarn, a gorgeous crimson red mohair art yarn spun with gold thread, ivory silk sari ribbons, and six ivory freshwater pearls that were handsewn onto the "icicles".

I remember when I first laid my eyes on this beautiful crimson/gold art yarn. It was almost two years ago at the end of our family's five chilling weeks in Berlin, Germany visiting Oma during Christmas. I was strolling through the Berlin Aquarium, iPhone in hand browsing the new yarns being listed while the large fish were swimming by in front of me. I saw the yarn and quickly sent an email to my favorite fiber artist asking her to reserve the yarn for me.

Earlier this year, I've also used this art yarn in combination with a deep pink handspun yarn for the Shabby Chic Beanie Hat with Pom Pom (a similar hat will be making its way to the shop in a deep turquoise paired with the red mohair art yarn) and the Pixie Elf Hat with Pom Pom which combined three different yarns.

I was so glad to have found more of this yarn last week which will allow me to make a few more of these special pixie bonnets. The only difference between the yarns is that the newer yarn has the addition of a bit of gold metallic fibers spun along with the gold metallic thread.

 

 

Coming soon...more luxe Pixie Bonnets using white mohair art yarn with gold thread/sparkles and silver mohair art yarn with silver thread/sparkles.
