Who needs a break these days?  To step off that road you’re on, with your job, your family and commitments…  We love what we do and we love who we are, but sometimes we just want to stop and step off.  Breathe and take stock of all the good around you to really truly appreciate what you have in life.  To treasure time.

Lavender is one of those things that can help you stop or at least slow down, with its calm color and fragrant smell.  Whether it is a field to behold, or a small sprig that catches your eye (and nose), this gossamer hat will remind you of the heat of summer and smell of lavender.  Perfect for fall and spring, and worn best under a hood in the very cold winter.  Lavender can help you find clarity, restore balance and embrace a calmer, fuller life.

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 it is gentle on one’s scalp if experiencing hair loss.

This hat fits a medium-sized head 22.5-23.25″.  If you have questions about fit, please let me know.
