This gossamer hat is light and very comfortable to wear. It can be the hat you wear to the market or on a brisk hike in the hills. It is unlike most hats and will be noticed, not only for it’s beautiful print and colors, but for its sculpted, casual design.
It is a hat that will set you apart from others. As Robin Williams once said: “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”

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 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. The floral silk was upcycled from a large infinity fashion scarf
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 hat liner, gentle on one’s scalp if experiencing hair loss.
This hat fits a small head 21.25-22.25″. If you have questions about fit, please let me know.
