Sock Monkeys Rock

I was asked to use some custom colors and fibres for these monkeys and I just LOVE how they turned out... The Mohawk was made out of 100% wool roving, so I spun some matching yarn (out of same fibre using   my drop spindle) to be able to crochet it as well as add this color to the hat braids.
