"Heritage Spinning & Weaving opened in the fall of 2000 selling mostly spinning wheels and weaving looms. Soon after, yarn was added and not long after that I fell in love with Shetland yarn and Fair Isle knitting. This hat is a celebration of the Heritage community and all we’ve learned over the years. The XX motif represents the number 20 in Roman numerals and the top just makes me smile." ~Joan
