Bad dye.

I put this hank of Araucania Nature Cotton on the swift to wind it. It was going to be earflaps for a customer’s cotton Jayne hat. Looks like the folks at Araucania tied the hank a little too tightly and the dye didn’t take. I can’t send out a hat with white spots in the earflaps.
And with that, my friends, I am done with cotton Jayne hats. They’re unpleasant to knit. They’re not cost effective to sell. The materials are inconsistent from batch to batch. And the texture isn’t really suitable for hats. So this is the last one. From now on, clients who are allergic to wool can go with acrylic.
Bonus: it’s cheaper for the customer. Jayne would get behind that.
