Hanky Headband

A hand-loomed knit headband with long ties and contrast tips. Knit in a jersey stitch with garter stitch edges. Worn over the head and knotted under the chin, with a pop of contrasting color at the tips of the ties. Named for our middle guy, the only one who won't wear it. And honestly, what are the odds that his name is Hanky, short for handkerchief, and this happens to be a knitted handkerchief? Free will is an illusion. Colors Poppy with Bluebell: a bright, true red with soft, dusty blue tips Chive with Evening Blue: a deep herb green with dark navy tips Multi: a marled mix of poppy red, cream, navy, and dusty blue Details 100% superwash merino wool, sourced in Peru Hand-loomed by an artisan on a manual, non-electric loom Jersey stitch body with garter stitch edges Long ties with contrast-color tips Knit from deadstock yarn Made in small batches by a women's collective in Peru One size Hand-Loomed Every piece is knit by hand on a manual loom, with no motors and no electricity, just a skilled artisan working row by row. It's a slower, lower-impact way to make knitwear, and it keeps a heritage craft in human hands rather than handing it to a factory line. It also means no two pieces are exactly alike: small variations in tension and texture are the mark of the maker. Deadstock Yarn Every piece is knit from deadstock: high-quality yarn left over from larger production runs that would otherwise sit unused or go to waste. Working with what already exists means no new yarn is made for our pieces, so fewer resources go into each one. It also means our colors are made in limited quantities, and once a batch is gone, it's gone.
