Milarrochy Tweeds complex, tonal shades make it ideal for colourwork of all kinds, so Kate invited twelve friends to join her in the challenge of creating a range of hats of rich variety and hue.Heidis the Scots word for head, and inside these pages youll find fifteen fabulous heids to choose from. From Ute Voss simple stripes to Virginia Sattler-Reimers complex kaleidoscopic crown; from Felicity Fords exuberantFeatherheidto Emily Williams stunning double-knittedTarradale, the heids in these pages are as varied as their creators. Established designers such as Ella Gordon and Dianna Walla meet emerging talent like Justyna Haberkowa and Sarah Mackay, drawing creative inspiration from landscape and location, flora and fauna, childhood memory and medieval architecture. With an introduction by Kate, and stunning photography around Loch Lomond by Tom Barr, this book is sure to bring you a warm and happy heid.
