Description

This hat is handmade felt.  The silk fabrics are fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting called nuno felting.  Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is blocked over a vintage wooden crown and brim block.   Comfort and sensibility with an eye-catching combination of silk, this work of wearable art is great in the spring, fall and winter.

This hat fits a small-sized head, 21.25-22.25″ in circumference.  If you have any questions about size, please contact me.
