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 Avocado, a combination of stones and skins from the fruit. Extracting the dye takes a few days of simmering and soaking, varying shades of pinks and oranges are created. I then modified the colour using iron water to shift the colour to a grey. Each small dye batch varies so much based on seasonality, quantities and where they are sourced from.

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.
