Then I knit it into something:
All of this is done by us, 100% farm fresh! You don't get any more local made than that!

The picture does not begin to do this hat justice. It is soft and warm and oh so comfortable to wear!
This Twilight Ear Flap Hat is for sale on our farm's Oak Haven Alpacas, LLC, ETSY page.
