Look at that, I googled the yarn and found that the company is showing it in a hat with cables. Also, from the URL it looks as if the price includes a boat ticket from Australia for the yarn. I bought 2 50-gram balls of that stuff a couple of months ago and made one hat mostly with it except for the cuff of Bartlett Mills fisherman yarn that I had left over from last year&#8217;s sweater project. I loved the feel, but the stitch definition was blah. The Bartlett yarn has good stitch definition but is definitely more scratchy. I had enough of the Jo Sharp left over for a band over the ears.
