The Pom Pom

Stinging Nettle MW003

Adult XL

£40.00

The Pom Pom hat has been hand crocheted, using a medium weight 100% extra fine merino wool. Ideal for cold Winter days.

Merino wool is a super fibre!

Sourced from South America, meaning this wool is from non-mulesed sheep.

Before each hat is crocheted, I dye the wool by hand, using naturally sourced plant or food waste dyes. I always dye in small batches, and never make a hat in the same size from the same wool batch, meaning every hat is completely unique!

This particular hat was dyed using Stinging Nettle, foraged from woodland and bridleways in the Surrey Hills, where I live. Extracting the dye takes a few days of simmering and soaking, varying shades of green and taupe are created. Each small dye batch varies so much based on seasonality, quantities and whether I choose to use just the top leaves or the whole plant.

Every hat tells a story.

After Care

Naturally anti-bacterial, and odour resistant, you should hardly ever need to wash your hat. But if you do feel you need to wash it:

Hand wash cold with a pH neutral soap. Dry flat on a towel to keep its shape.
