This hat is made by first knitting an over large hat and then shrinking and felting it in the washing machine. This process produces a thick fabric which is very water repellent and warm. I have included a picture of one of the hats deals before it was felted for comparison. I mostly use a wool/mohair worsted weight yarn which I have found felts beautifully. I also use 100% wool or occasionally alpaca.
The color choices for these hats are endless so feel free to message me about what other colors I might have on hand.
I will need to know what size your head is in order to get the right fit. Please measure, with a cloth measuring tape, the inches of your head at the the widest point. The total should be anywhere from 21" to 26" more or less. The average size would be 23" or so.
Like any wool item, hand wash with mild soap in cool water, gently ring out, shape and let dry away from a heat source.
Please allow 3 to 4 weeks before shipping as these hats take some time to make.
