Inspired by a hike along Newfoundland’s East Coast Trail, the Cape Spear Headband features a multi-stranded braided cable that resembles the surface of the Atlantic Ocean on a calm day. It is warm, cozy, and stylish.

Fleece Artist’s Slubby Blue is a wonderfully soft variegated yarn in fantastic colourways. Other chunky weight yarns could also be used. Try something with tweeds or a multi-tonal yarn
