New Zealand Wool Hat: Hand-Spun, Hand-Dyed, Hand-Knitted

Join the slow fashion revolution. You'll be the only one who has this unique piece of wooly art. Each hat is creatively made with passion and love from our beautiful New Zealand wool sheep fibre. The wool is all processed by me on our Little NZ sheep farm where we are preserving our coloured Corriedale wool sheep. We care for our sheep, shear our sheep, wash, dry, and blend wool and alpaca together, hand dye and hand-spin our wool to produce some of the best quality wool products available. You can't buy this level of luxury in a shop. Hand-spun wool is an investment that lasts far longer than synthetic materials, it has the ability to trap body heat, absorb moisture and wick it away from the skin, but it's also breathable (unlike synthetics) which allows temperature regulation so you don't overheat. It's beautifully biodegradable and gentle on the planet. If asked, I can create your wool hat to your exact size and colour preferences. Baby & kid sizes are available.
