Felting

The felting technique: The reason we felt the hats is so the fibers are blended together which makes the hat toasty warm, soft and comfy. We begin by knitting the hat in quality 100% wool, knitting it larger than you would like it to be, which leaves room for the shrinkage (felting) process and then sending the hat gently through the washer in warm water shrinks the hat to the size we need. We then place the hat on a head form, which shapes the hat to the desired size. Child size hats are 15-18 inches in circumference, adults are are 22-24 inches. If you have a smaller or larger size you need just let us know and we can customized the hat to fit you and your child perfectly!
Measure the circumference of your head as follows: Measure just above top of ears. Wrap measuring tape gently around head making certain tape lies midway on your occipital bone (that little bump in the middle of the back of your head). Don't pull the tape too tightly or your hat will fit that tightly.
To place an order send us the size you would like and also choose the colors that you like for your hat, which are listed to the right of this blog post and e-mail us at ljlm08@comcast.net.
