Frank from Edgewood, New Mexico has a booth at the Santa Fe Saturday Farmers Market where he displays hats and other items of apparel that are made from yarns that he gets from the Navajo Angora Goats he raises. The yarns are spun and hand dyed to make a variety of colors for his wares. Frank cheerfully donned and modeled a few hats for you to see and enjoy.
That one on the left, I would buy.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is YOU, Jim!!
DeleteI'd buy a hat from Frank. I like his 'curly' one...on him, not for me!
ReplyDeleteI love his hats very much, he has a great head for them and I like his spencer too.
ReplyDeleteFrank has such a nice face Kate.. Aimee just said today that she can't wait for beanie weather again :)
ReplyDeletei love his hats! and very cool that he makes the yarn from his own goats! great colors...he must have some colorful goats ;)
ReplyDeleteFun and funny and funky guy! The hatmaker! Did you buy one? It's still snowing in Minnesota and a little bird told me you're heading back asap.
ReplyDeleteKate: I hope you splurged and bought the hat in the second photo!
ReplyDeleteFrank is a good sport and his hats would be welcome on a cold day. Did you buy one to take home with you? It would be snuggly warm in that Minnesota winter.
ReplyDeleteI would wear that curly one! Nice work....the hats and your portraits.
ReplyDeletewhat a great face! love him!
ReplyDeleteSnazzy hats that Frank has created. Think his colorful sweater is pretty neat to!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like quite a character!
ReplyDeleteDoes he sell the yarn too? I'd love to have some to knit myself something!
ReplyDeleteThe one on the left looks really good on him :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! I'm guessing Navajo angora goats are heritage - rare - animals. I'm always glad to hear when someone's doing something to maintain diversity like this. Did you support him with a purchase or two? That second hat would be perfect in your "about me" capsule on your web page...just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteMy days of needing wool caps like this are over. These days I wear straw panama hats.
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of him raising the goats.....then weaving the hats from that yarn. Hooray for him.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that second one... I suppose a skier will buy it. I've seen some crazy hats on skiers!
ReplyDeleteNice portraits.
