Handspun and knit beanie
Magnolia requested I knit her a beanie as soon as she saw the vibrant, glittery balls of fluff in my stash. She had to wait for me to finish up some other spins first but when I started it was a super quick make (I spun the yarn one day and knit the beanie the next) so she didn't have to wait too long once she saw the fluff being spun into yarn. Photos below show it turn from fluff to yarn to a finished beanie.
The pattern used is The Eddie Beanie by Wolley Handmade and it's beginner friendly (and free to download) if you're new to knitting... I used the child size but it's also available in both smaller and larger sizes.
Fibre is from Classy Squid Fiber Co. in the Parisian Confectionary colourway as well as some Australian polwarth
For the spinners... I plied the strand of Parisian confectionary I had spun with one of plain white Polwarth to end up with a bulky weight yarn. The strand of Parisian Confectionary was naturally textured due to the mix ins in the batt and the second ply just added some stability to help hold the textured bits in place. It was spun on my Schacht Matchless.
