This hat takes me anywhere tropical when the dark winter descends on us in Canada.  The vibrant yellow is such a happy and bright color but when mixed with lime and turquoise flowers, it  helps you remember the warm, fragrant and humid air of your last hot holiday.  Deep breath, shoulders relaxed.  Just take a minute to remember sand in your feet.  🙂

Sensible in its design to cover your ears, the 20’s cloche style has you covered in any winter weather coming your way.  Escape with this hat, when you can’t with your body!

Description

This hat is handmade felt.  The silk fabric is from a thrifted silk dress and is fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting (nuno felting).  Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is blocked over a vintage heated block and shaped by hand. This cloche is warm, and perfect for keeping the weather off your hair while covering your ears in cold weather.  There is plenty of room in the hat to house your hair and can even be folded up and tucked into a purse if you need to remove it while inside.

This hat fits a larger-sized head, 22.75-23.5″ in circumference.  If you have any questions about size, please contact me.
