To save the Wool industry in the 1500's Queen Elizabeth the First created a law that one must wear a wool cap to church, or face a penalty. Like Lizzie real wool is a passion of mine and I really believe personally in the holistic benefits of wearing it. I've been wearing make shift headbands in the studio over the years as a necessity. This one came about originally from a beautiful swatch of colours for this season that looked my way and my need to use every last piece of yarn.
