  Betsey's Bonnets : Hand knitted and felted hats, tams, and chemotherapy hats for women and children.  Betseys Bonnets is a charity based in Seattle, Washington. Their mission is to design and hand knit unique hats for the person undergoing treatment that may result in hair loss and others going through challenges who could use a dose of self-esteem. They offer survivor support by offering a means to express each very special person... not only as a patient or victim but, as a very special and unique person.


  The Hat Lady : One of a kind hand knit hats. Styles include beanie, bowler, hair sack and pill box.   "My name is J.S. Rogers, I make hand knitted hats. I've been involved with crafts for many years. It started on my first trip to the hospital when I was twelve years old and recieved craft kits to fill the hours. I missed a year of school and was assigned a tutor that was a home economics instructor: She not only taught the fundamental academics but shared her knitting skills. Four hip replacements and a liver transplant have given many hours to knit, experimenting with blending color and yarns to create my imaginative appealing hats. I live in the northern most point of California coast and there are many days a cozy snug hat helps to weather the coastal winds. My hats have sold up and down the coast. The hats create a customer draw due to their original designs. No two are alike!"


  The Hat Lady of Maine : Hats for adults, children and dolls designed and knitted by Jan Weaver.  "My name is Jan Weaver, and I live in North Yarmouth, Maine with my two children, two dogs and one husband. In 1984, I took my 8 week old daughter to day care so I could go to my job as an RN in Portland. That day I resolved to make my living at home somehow. It took me three years to gain the skills and confidence, then in 1987, I quit my job and have been knitting from my home ever since. The products on this web site are all my own work, made here in Maine. Thank you for considering my products. I work with high quality acrylic yarn that provides both warmth and comfort. Customers frequently report that my hats are the only ones their children will keep on their heads."


  Pine Ledge : Pine Ledge fiber Studio : the fabrics created at Pine Ledge fiber Studio create a spectacular and enduring look. Each piece is designed to take advantage of the inherent characteristics of the fibers and yarns used. They are unique in texture, appearance and hand. They provide product that is luxurious. Handspun yarn and handwoven fabrics made in Vermont by Joanne Littler. Handspun, handknit hats and handwoven scarves by the spinner and weaver.

One-of-a-Kind Hand Knits

A hand knitted hat from a single maker is a slightly different product from a retail knit: the maker chooses the yarn blend and colors as the work develops, so the finished hat is unique. J.S. Rogers learned knitting from a home economics tutor during a year missed from school, and decades of experimentation with blending color and yarns stand behind The Hat Lady's imaginative designs, which have sold up and down the California coast. Jan Weaver took three years to build the skills and confidence to leave nursing in 1987 and knit for a living - the kind of biography that is inseparable from this category's appeal.

Fiber Studios and Handspun Yarn

Pine Ledge fiber Studio represents the deepest version of the craft: Joanne Littler spins the yarn and weaves and knits the fabrics in Vermont, designing each piece around the inherent characteristics of the fibers and yarns used, so texture and hand are the point of the product. Handspun yarn has a liveliness machine-spun yarn lacks, at the cost of true one-off production. Shoppers who value that should order early and accept the maker's palette; shoppers who need a specific size by a specific date are better served by the broader Knit Hat page, which this page links.
