This hat is named for the woman we all know, the one who is holding her world together. Children, events, spouses, small businesses, parents and life’s changes; there are so many dynamics to keep a family together and functioning. With humor, humility and a lot of grit, this one goes out to that friend who manages to keep things balanced with grace, a wry smile…and a touch of madness.

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 lined 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 and as such 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.
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 with silk as a liner, gentle on one’s scalp if experiencing hair loss.
This hat fits a small head 21.5-22.0″. If you have questions about fit, please let me know.
