To Make Up
To prevent heavy pressing and use of an iron, either
of which could be injurious to fabric, some yarns state that they should
not be pressed. Light pressing is suitable as follows:
Block brim by pinning out round edge and lightly press using a warm iron
and slightly damp cloth.
Using 4 strands of yarn together make a twisted cord and thread through
holes, tie in a bow at back.
