Which wool?
Hardy wool – The pure wool black, green and blue options are made with a hardy grade of wool, knit with a double layer. The pompom felts during the final finishing process where we gently wash that hat to remove some of the excess lanolin. Wool hats don’t need to be washed often as the fibre is self cleaning however, if you do want to wash this hat to reshape, wash it by hand at a cool temperature.
Merino wool – We have knit the grey and navy options with heavyweight merino wool in the same double thick structure. This type of wool is silky smooth to touch and has a nice shine in the finish. Merino wool has one of the tightest coils of all wool fibres which makes it hypoallergenic and incredibly warm. Merino wool can be machine washed on a gentle 30 degree wool cycle, make sure to turn it inside out first.
