Beanie Hat, Chocolate Brown, Organic Cotton, Crochet
This Beanie is a rich chocolate brown color, woody and earthy and warm. It's amazingly soft organic cotton making it washable, vegan and eco-friendly. Perfect for ladies or Gentleman, a bald head or piles of hair. It is on the large side so best for average to larger heads. 8" (20.3 cm) from the top center down to the brim. 25" (63.5 cm) around the brim when relaxed, but due to the fabulous nature of my pattern, this hat stretches easily in all directions for a great fit for almost anyone. Machine wash cold (preferrably delicate or gentle cycle) and tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. I have pre-washed and dried this hat so it shouldn't shrink. But it IS cotton so it might. If you're concerned about this, please lay it flat to dry.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I’m a composer working in silk, gemstones, pearls, crystals, precious metals, glass, and yarn. Handmade lampworked glass beads, silk cord, silver charms, bamboo fiber and baby alpaca yarn are the notes in my music. Colors and textures are the melody and harmony. The music I compose is fine jewelry and crochet accessories created with a sense of joy.
Necklaces are often hand knotted silk cord with Swarovski Crystals, Gemstones, Lampwork Glass or Pearls floating in place. Earrings are wire-wrapped, often clusters, that coordinate with necklaces or take the stage solo. Bracelets and anklets are petite versions of necklaces for delicate and delightful descants to the music. The metals making the framework of my jewelry compositions are carefully chosen; Argentium Silver, Sterling Silver or Niobium for what may touch your skin. Accents of silver plated fine-pewter make a few fun appearances.
Crochet accessories are all about color and texture. For it to be close to your skin, on your shoulders or around your neck, it must be soft. But it must also be lovely. The yarns I create with range from baby alpaca, merino, and lambswool to silk, cotton and bamboo, to acrylic, nylon and polyfiber. You must touch the yarns, and you must see them, they are all so beautiful and wonderful.

For White Freshwater Pearl Necklace, Knotted Silk Cord, Chunky Pearls4.7Sarah was responsive, fast, and knowledgeable. She was able to explain the color variation in pearls and how the freshwater pearls she uses appear as they do. Mini history/ trade lesson. Evidence she cares about the materials she uses. Additionally, she was a professional who obviously understands customer dynamic. I greatly appreciate her work ethic. Thanks Sarah.

For Knotted Silk And Crystal Station Float Necklace5.0Sarah was great to work with. I needed a necklace to match a pair of earrings that I wanted to wear to a party in a couple of weeks. She helped me design and create the perfect necklace to match and it was shipped to me all within a week's time. The quality is great and it's exactly what I wanted. She was very patient with me as I wanted to try a few different stone combinations and she even showed me what it would look like before getting a proposal. I highly recommend working with Sarah!
