Store Message
Thanks everyone for your support of our custom knits. We look forward to 2024 being a great year here at The Knit Tree. As Sharon Nani, owner, prepares for retirement, she is training her son, Ken to knit the items in the online store, plus the ones that were removed. Ken is going to take over The Knit Tree and its equipment so we can continue to offer these unique custom knits to our customers. Ken is not new to machine knitting - he earned his high school and college spending money by filling orders back in the 1990's, and has continued to help in maintaining the equipment. Ken is creative in his own rights with his "Custom Wood and Land Works" business where he falls the timber, prepares the lumber and creates unique wood items and projects: custom storage sheds, fences, decks ect. So we may add new catagories to this web site when the time arrives. SO LOOK FORWARD TO ADDING THE CAMO KNITS BACK INTO THE ONLINE STORE THIS YEAR.
Winona Camo™ Camo Elite© ~ Survivor Hat with Soft Bill.
Originated by Bob Fratzke One Only in Colorway E and One in Colorway G Snow Camo
Winona Elite Camo© is 66% Acrylic 34% Merino Wool
This hat style was made famous by Bob Fratzke. It can be worn with the 3 color camo colorway on the out side or Reversible to Solid Blaze Orange. This makes it double thickness. It easily comes down to cover the ears. The soft bill in the front shades the eyes but is not so big that it will interfere with a bowstring. If you want the warmest for cold weather consider the Elite version which has merino wool / acrylic blend. This hat is not offered in 100% merino because the wool yarn is not 'neon orange' enough' to meet the state hunting regulations. Therefore the Elite hat uses merino as the non orange colors and acrylic for the hunter blaze orange lining. Check out our photos which show both reversible ways of wearing the cap. Also refer to your states hunting regulations concerning wearing Blaze Orange.
Each camo cap is individually hand loomed and assembled. It is NOT a mass produced item.
