I made this gossamer hat while live streaming Megan and Harry’s wedding. I had just picked up the most delightful raspberry gingham scarft for a lining, and this hat came together perfectly. Just as the day seemed to pass, the silks and merino wool blended so beautifully together, it was indeed a magical day! Reminiscent of springtime peonies and azalea flowers, this hat will raise your spirits and turn heads like the glorious flowers do each spring on their return…

Description
The Gossamer hat is a Trish Raine-developed hat, handmade by fusing merino wool and chiffon silk in a process of wet felting (nuno felting). This hat has silk on the outside of the hat, and is also fully lined inside with a different silk. A thin layer of merino wool is felted between the two layers of silk, essentially “gluing” them together. This means that it will be comfortable on your head, soft on your hair and will breathe, allowing air to flow right through.
This gossamer hat is a VERY thin felt, with silk on the outside and inside of the hat. It does not have much structure to it, so will easily fold up in a purse. Each fold is hand-sewn into place to keep the shape of the hat. The original silk is used to make a binding at the bottom of the hat. More silk, how luxurious!!!
This hat is wonderful for fall or spring, or if you have cooler summer nights. It is good in the winter, but not warm enough for very cold temperatures (but fits fabulously under a hood)! Perfect to be worn inside, and gentle on one’s scalp if experiencing hair loss.
This hat fits a head 22.5-23.5″. If you have questions about fit, please let me know.
