“Touring three US national parks in the summer of 2017 (Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton) we were enthralled by the vast beauty of the mountain forests. Memories of tall slender lodgepole pines stayed with me.“
Those images became the inspiration for Carolyn's (pinus) Contorta hat design. Contorta is essentially a classic ribbed beanie, inspired by mountain trees, and knit in mountain wool.
