This beanie features a mob of young kangaroos protesting against the destruction and disappearance of their land.
The kangaroo has excellent hearing, swivelling its ears to pick up sounds. What better Australian animal than the kangaroos to hear what is happening our land and for the young mob to warn us all as to the need to listen and act.
The mob represents all kanagaroos: red, grey, brown, and even the rare albino and black wallaroo.
The hat was knitted using pure wool, felted and then shaped.
