I made a couple of hats with Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed + Bartlett Mills fisherman 3-ply. One had a Bartlett cuff and the Jo Sharp on the inside and over the top, the other had the cuff Bartlett, the part over the ears Jo Sharp (it doesn't show, but it sure feels soft) and the top Bartlett again. I was trying for a reasonable compromise between comfort & economy, with that good oomphy Bartlett look. It hasn't been cold since I finished them so I'm not sure how they perform.

What colours did you use? They compliment one another perfectly. Good choice.

The hat and mittens are beautiful! Could you please tell me what color yarns you used for the hat? Thanks
