We know it’s spring here in western Massachusetts when young fiddlehead ferns start sprouting up in our gardens, woods, and local markets. This lovely beret and mitt set features staggered fiddlehead motifs, as soft and cool as a spring morning. Valley Yarns Southwick makes this the ideal transitional hat with it's light bend of Pima cotton and bamboo.
