The Encircling Wool Handmade Hat

Description

Your head undoubtedly deserves to be warm! That amazing brain of yours naturally needs to be loved and swaddled in this squishy hat. The heat retained on your head as you wear this hat will be warm and toasty like a cup of hot cocoa.

The fun unique design is one of a kind and has been made from the ends of many yarns so no scraps are gone to waste! They are felted onto the plush hat so the decorative design looks like it is floating on the surface of the hat.

Size:

This hat fits very loosely and has a hemmed brim. This is not a form fitting hat, but fits sitting on the head similar to a bucket hat. It’s a great hat when wearing glasses. 

The circumference measures 21 inches around, and has a height of 7.5 inches. Since this hat is knit it has some stretch to fit a impressive range of sized heads. It will fit anyone who likes a more snug fitting hat at 22-23” or if you like a loser hat down to 20” head.

Please measure your head with a flexible ruler to figure out the most suitable size for you.

Color description: Since all monitors, phones, tablets, or whatever you used to find this hat typically have color variation, so I will describe it for you here.

This soft antique cream represents a cozy warm tone that is reminiscent of a warn antique parchment. The complementary colors in the encircling circles are:

• blue jean blue,

• deep in the forest green,

• crisp Malbec wine,

• luxurious dark royal purple,

• and optimistic burnt orange.

Material:

This warm squishy hat is made of 100% American wool. The wool is sourced, spun, dyed and then turned into a plush hat all in the USA. This wool is a fine micron wool and is soft enough to wear next to your skin.

When you purchase this hat, you are not only supporting my art and my family but you are also supporting…

• The Local Yarn Shop

• Wonderful farmers, Mills and Dye houses in the USA that produce the yarn

• My local community in Scarborough, ME, through support of local activities.

Care:

This hat is 100% wool and should never meet with your washing machine or dryer. Hand wash, and lay flat to dry unless you’d like for it to be handed down to the nearest baby to you. I heartily recommend using a wool wash with lanolin. It naturally helps keep the wool really soft.

I use a wool wash when I complete my wool knit items so it has been infused with lanolin and is ready to wear.
