Our Wilder Restock is HERE
Jan 21st 2025
When we launched our "New Year, New Hat" knit-a-long we had no idea y'all would wipe us out of Spincycle Wilder - and we're here to say our restock has arrived! This super-squishy 100% American Rambouillet wool pairs perfectly with their Dyed In The Wool yarn, and knits up into the coziest hats around.
Didn't know about the KAL? Here's a quick recap! We're knitting Ysolda Teague's amazing Musselburgh. This famously swatchless pattern works with anything from a lace to DK weight; but our favorite way to knit a Musselburgh is with sport-weight stripes like the one featured above. Our version of this addicting knit calls for one skein each of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool and Spincycle Wilder.
It's not too late to join in the fun - this hat KAL runs until February 6th! We recommend grabbing your skein of Wilder before we run out again.
Let's talk more about the pattern...
The Musselburgh is the original swatchless hat: a double-layered beanie with 4-point crown shaping. In what is essentially a three step project you’ll start with a center-out cast-on and increase for the first crown; the next part is a beautifully meditative knit (perfect for those zoom calls!) of stockinette in the round; finally, you will finish off the hat by mirroring the initial shaping with decreases.
This simple canvas is perfect for exploring your creativity through yarn choice, stripes or color blocking. The hat is fully reversible, so working each half in a different color or stripe sequence can turn it into two completely different hats in one. We encourage you to cast one on and discover for yourself why so many knitters have fallen in love with Musselburgh!

"How do I make a striped Musselburgh?"
It's as easy as 1,2,3!
1. Pick your Wilder base color first - it's available in two hues: Light Grey (a very light and pearlish grey), and Dark Grey which leans a bit brown.
2. Pick your Dyed in the Wool contrast color next - we currently have 75 colors in stock, and we encourage you to explore them all.
3. Start knitting! We alternated colors every other row, but feel free to experiment.
Looking for color inspiration?
We absolutely LOVE this unexpected combination of Dark Grey Wilder paired with a vibrant skein of Dyed in the Wool. The color featured here is Fluorite, but you could also try Vibe Check, Rabbit Hole, or Happy Pill for a similar bright & bold feel.

Maybe brights aren't your thing? That's okay! If you feel like knitting up a neutral hat for your winter wardrobe, opt for a Dyed in the Wool hue like Stay Ready (featured here) with Light Grey Wilder, giving more contrast to make the stripes pop.
