A hat from Uzbekistan. My online friend Carlone in Australia bought a similar hat and puzzled over the band on its edge and how it had been created. Linda told me that these bands are loop manipulated and that people often mistakenly assume that anything that has twined warps has been card woven. The other piece is a macro gauze by Peter Collingwood.
