Touque (also spelled tuque or toque) is a truly Canadian word for a knitted hat, an indispensible item in our cold climate. I see them in many colours and styles in the ski village near where I live. What fun to make these touques in fabric. I could go on and on. At the suggestion of my small quilting group, I replaced one with another, in the colours of the Hudson Bay Company, a truly Canadian institution (at least it used to be). So now I have a spare touque for when it gets really cold up here.
