Nepal Helmet Hat (or the Oompa Loompa) by Tabbetha McCale, Missouri, USA Materials used: 100% hand dyed and hand spun wool Artist's Statement: I hand dyed the fiber then hand spun the yarn. The wool fiber "lining" is knitted into the hat. For Sale: $145. Judges Notes: We love this hat. It has everything: the colors are beautiful, the craftsmanship is divine, and the technique is unusual. The knitted-in wool fiber lining also makes you look like you have a new, disheveled brown hairdo. This entry is also practical and ultra warm. Bravo, Tabbetha! We also appreciated the Willie Wonka reference. Best of Show! Prize: a full set (4 volumes) of the classic Barbara Walker Knitting Stitch Treasuries
