I designed this hood for the 2026 Philly Yarn Crawl using the custom fingering weight and lace weight suri yarn that was dyed up exclusively by Little Fiber Co. for Wild Hand. I knit the hood using both yarns held together and it made the softest dreamiest hood that’s perfect for spring. There are multiple sizes to choose from and notes for customizing the perfect fit along the way.
