Big Echo
Big Echo is a bulky cabled hat designed as part of the Cables and Hops collection, a collaboration with Berroco Yarns, by good friends Thea Colman and Bristol Ivy.
Thea and Bristol chose their favorite Berroco yarn for the collection - Ultra Alpaca, and then each of them designed 3 pieces to show off the yarn. The designs are all about diagonals and textures, and each uses the different weights and colors of Ultra Alpaca to show off the gorgeous qualities of this workhorse yarn in different ways.
Thea's knits are each named for one of the beers available at Buttonwoods Brewery, where all the pieces were photographed (by Gayle Zucker). Bristol's designs are each named for one of the glassware shapes on the bar!
