<strong>Zig</strong> <strong>Zag</strong> <strong>Tam</strong><br />
designed by Susan Mills<br />
The Yarn<br />
Liberty Wool<br />
100% Washable Wool<br />
A classic tam shape with<br />
colorwork on the top. It is<br />
important to choose two Liberty<br />
Wool Print colorways with no<br />
common colors in order for the<br />
zig zag pattern to read well. Every<br />
tam will be unique—depending<br />
on where in the color sequence<br />
you begin each yarn, even two<br />
tams knit with the same colors will<br />
look completely different.<br />
