Sorry, I lied :o(

I said I would post this a few days ago, but ~~I was lazy~~ things came up.

I finished another one of my 101 goals! A friend of mine gave me some yarn a few months ago. I’m not sure who she got it from, I think it was at the market she works at on Saturdays in Baltimore. It is produced by Minka Fair Trade, which I don’t know more about than the link will tell you.

It is a handspun undyed wild cotton from Peru. I did find a place that sells it online here. The yarn is thick and thin, and reminds me of popcorn, in both the color and the texture. I really like the feel of this yarn, and since it was only 50g, I thought I would make a calorimetry from it.

I love the yarn, and that I made this very quickly! (it only took about 5 hours, maybe less) I was worried about how the cotton would work in this pattern for this use, but it is not as stretchy as a wool would probably be, but it still contours to the shape of your head. I would probably knit fewer rows than I did (I already had knit less than the pattern called for) and definitely use a different bind off, since the one I used is not very stretchy, so I would wear that edge towards the front of my head.
