Yesterday the new stock by Boinas Arandú has arrived;
replenishing the stock of standard and vintage cotton berets (the brown, white
and navy models are well stocked again!), but more interesting are the brand new
'Boinas Crochet'.
Arandú's 'Boinas Crochet' sits among the most comfortable
cotton berets to be found.
Crochet is a process of creating fabric by interlocking
loops of yarn using a crochet hook (the name comes from the French term
crochet, meaning 'small hook'). The salient difference between crochet and
knitting (which is the usual method of manufacturing berets), is that each
stitch in crochet is completed before the next one is begun, while knitting
keeps many stitches open at a time.
These berets have the soft touch of corduroy,
easily stretch to (even the largest) size, are excellent work-wear (being
sturdy and tear resistant) and are fitted with a solid cotton lining in a 30cm
diameter.
Available in 4 colours @ $52.50.
As the present stock was a small sample order, these berets
are presently in very limited supply.
