Milarrochy Heids by Kate Davies

One beautiful tweedy yarn, thirteen talented designers, 15 fabulous heids. Kate Davies loves hat-knitting, and when she developed Milarrochy Tweed – a yarn named after one of her favourite Loch Lomond locations – she knew it was time to create a book of hat designs. Milarrochy Tweed’s complex, tonal shades make it ideal for colourwork of all kinds, so Kate invited 12 friends to join her in the challenge of creating a range of hats of rich variety and hue.

We recommend both the Calor Soft Donegal and Zealana Air Lace to make these gorgeous hats.

From Ute Vos’s simple stripes to Virginia Sattler-Reimer’s complex kaleidoscopic crown to from Felicity Ford’s exuberant Featherheid and Emily Williams’ stunning double-knitted Tarradale, the heids in these pages are as varied as their creators. The book features an introduction by Kate, and stunning photography around Loch Lomond.
