My custom order for the pair of ginseng hats is done. In working through the hats and trying to get a feel for ginseng as well as the soon to be married couple, I did a bit of research. When I read that the root was given in ancient times to open the heart, the work for the hats flowed freely.
I hand dyed the merino in shades of gray and blended them with a lovely dyed alpaca. The hats are not the same, but they have a sameness, they share the same fibre and the same inspiration. Love.
