Multitudes is a classic cabled hat that plays with scale by combining both very large and very small cables on a reverse stockinette background. Nupps, twisted ribbing and crown decreases that are worked into the cable pattern provide this pattern’s special details - and the pom pom the icing on the proverbial cake!

A soft and slightly rustic (in the best possible way!) blend of mountain sheep and German Merino transformed into a worsted-weight yarn perfect for cables and texture. It's entirely sourced and spun in Germany and available in both a few undyed as well as naturally dyed shades. As it's woollen-spun, it's pure bliss to watch it bloom after blocking!

woollentwine's Rustic Merino Worsted is a non-superwash yarn, so the hat is best washed by hand in lukewarm (not hot!) water, using a little bit of wool wash or gentle soap. Take care not to wring it, but gently squish any excess water out of it, wrap it in a towel, roll it up, and do a little "dance on the towel" to press any remaining water out it. Then, lay it flat to dry.
