My husband has Colorado in his heart, having lived there as a small child and young adult. The yarns of Mountain Colors are dyed in colors that represent the mountains and streams of the Rocky Mountains. Making something special for my husband with Mountain Colors yarn was a no-brainer. This hat and muffler are designed with the modern Mountain Man in mind—the muffler keeps my husband warm on his Vespa and the hat is shaped similarly to a motorcycle helmet (to be worn off the Vespa, of course).
