The Tobacco Root

As featured on Clover Needlecraft!

Mark here from @bearsdenessentials with a pattern inspired by my love of the outdoors and the beauty of our small corner of heaven here in Montana! I just love the simplicity of clothing where “less is more” when it comes to design. 

My wife and I live in the Ruby Valley where the Tobacco Root Mountains border us to the north. It’s such a beautiful but rugged terrain of rocks sprouting over 10,000 feet. I’m excited to let you know that this is the first in the line of hats from Bears Den Essentials inspired by the terrain that surrounds us in Southwest Montana.
