make tams? show/sell/swap em here

melissa... those are just precious! Very nice work

 

Thanks

 

See post #28

 

i saw a black guy in town once with a tam on, and it had stretched soo much, the hole in it was about 2 foot diameter,, it was just perched on the back of his head

 

there was some jamaican looking guy at the mall today with a freakin potatoe sack on his head.
i dont know if he had dreads under it, but there had to have been a crap load of hair either way.
and i never heard of wayer a tam for an afro.

 

I have a few different dreadlock related handmades in my store.
I mostly makes tams, but I also made dread tubes, headbands, and stretchy head wraps
here are a few pics of each of them





and here is a link to my etsy where you will find items like those ones

Aaah, very nice.

Thanks for that everyone.

 

Here is a pic of my latest tam, Hamadryad. It is hand knit from the very best merino wool and is perfect for men and women alike:





You can find this tam and much more at http://sandandskycreations.com

 

You ever had the courage to venture into hat-man? As a white man with dreadlocks I wont go within 100 yards of the place.

 

hahaha, i go past hat-man on the bus home, i was ganna go in there when i had dreads but no, i never have. i see quite a few dreadies down the rag market mostly

 

are they them scarf things, where on the back of the packaging it has little cartoons on the like 500 ways you can wear them?! theyre brill, i brought one to climb cold cold snowdon in kept me warm. and my boyfriend wears one when he doesnt want fluff and shiz in his dreads.

 

i reeeeaaaaally wwant something like this..but with a hole in the center
sp i camnn sticlk the dreads up through the hole and the hat will keep em out off my shoulders and provide shade too

if any1 ever ever ever sees anything like that..buy it and i'lltack on an extra proffit for ya too

 

Is the online store http://www.houseofnubian.com/IBS/SimpleCat/Shelf/ASP/Hierarchy/000E00.html? good? I was thinking of buying one, but then my mom said she'd buy one for my birthday. Is it a good tam?

 

they look kinda mass produced and the purpose of this thread was more for hand made crafters i would say they look ok if ya wamna buy 1 but personaly id rather support a crafter here that makes each 1 special and doest pump out thousands at a time

with an inventotu of thousands i dont believe they need out help advertisimng either any1 can find theyre crap with a web search so according to thread rules ya probly should edit it out buyt go ahead and buy 1 of ya want
me though id rather but from someone who put alittle love into each and every stitch then but some that just are made by machines by the thousands

 

^^ WHS
Get one off here, they will be better quality, actual wool
I wouldnt advise getting one from them, think about small children being employed for a few pence per day to make these

they are indeed them scarf things,, i might get one even though im dreadless now

 

I just bought a couple from
http://purplesagedesignz.com/store/W...t=HandmadeHats One is here, and another is on it's way, since their quick replies to my emails gave me the confidence to order another before the first one arrived. Angelika is great to deal with, and she is super friendly. The tam I received today fit wonderfully, and is very well-made. I highly recommend.

 

Do any of you guys have advice on knitting/crocheting nice and big (but still able to hold onto your head) tams? I don't have dreads, but I do have bum length hair, so having a tam to put it up in when it gets colder out would be lovely

Thanks so much for any patterns or advice you can give!

from what i was told measure around the hairline
then put all your hair in a ball and measure front to back over the ball
