A white backdrop of snowy streets is the perfect place to throw in a splash of color. And with over a dozen new colors in its palette, Super Soft Merino has us excited for the snow days ahead!

For our quick and fun Snow Day Hat, we used two strands of Super Soft Merino held together to create an eye-catching marled fabric. From bright and cheery Yellow Yellow to subtle Lavender Opal, a dash of color in a big, simple hat really makes a statement.

Super Soft Merino was our very first Purl Soho yarn, and we love it as much today as we did four years ago. It is our go-to for winter knitting, and I can’t imagine a better companion in this year’s snowy weather than our Snow Day Hat! -Jake
