This came in from SandnesGarn: Chili, an eyelash blend with a touch of glitter in aran weight. Great for scarves, or add it to your favorite knit as a glamorous trim. This yarn looks great in felted items - simply knit along with your wool, then felt as usual. Chili won't felt, instead adding an interesting eyelash effect that will "dress-up" your project. We have several pattern books with patterns and ideas using this versatile yarn. Check the shade card.

I liked it right away
Neat little trick to make this hat with a double rolled brim. I had to look twice to understand how the brims roll up. It's called "School Colors Hat" and the pattern from fibertrends is available through us ($6.75). Inge knit it in a combination of our Vero and Smart yarns, but any worsted or bulky weight yarn would do.
