My kippah collection is my pride and joy. There have been some new additions since the last post, and I wanted to show them off differently. Therefore, I have now taken photographs of my kippot grouped by color. I began with the colors of which I had the most, and ended with the colors of which I had fewest. I will caption the pictures, too.
Enjoy!
