More about my slouchy beanie hats…
My luxurious merino-wool-rich soft slouchy beanie hat has a stripy rolled edge and a decorative 'running stitch' detail which enables you to adjust the size to your personal preference for fit.
These hats are light, practical and easy to wear - and everyone wears it differently! They can be worn slouchy style, beret style, or pulled down over your ears to be cosy and warm. Handmade in Surrey.
The yarn is soft and warm with a slightly tweedy texture and subtle coloured flecks.
They are fully washable and easy to look after. No need to dry clean.
See garment care for details.

These beanie hats are knit in 50% merino wool, 25% silk, 25% nylon.

You should hand wash your hat in cool water (not hot) using a gentle non-biological washing powder/cleanser and rinse it thoroughly.
Dry your hat by rolling it gently in a towel - to remove most of the water - and then lay it flat (for example on a towel) to dry fully.
If needed you can gently ease it into shape and size while it’s still damp. And also if needed you can pat the edges of the hat into shape.
You can read more general garment care information here. Or ask me - I’m always happy to help.

These hats are one size - big enough for me to wear (I have a big head!). However, you can easily adjust the fit of the hat to your choice. There is a decorative - but also functional - tie or lace running around the ‘cuff’ of the hat, and you can use this to adjust the fit of the hat to your preference.

Knitted clothes and accessories are probably the perfect example of ‘slow fashion’. I believe that we should choose the clothing we buy carefully, select items which will last, ideally keep them for years, and know how to look after each piece.
And because I knit only very small quantities of each piece, wastage is reduced, and production is more sustainable. Nothing is made in the far east, everything is handmade in Britain, slowly and carefully, and made to last.
I’m delighted to say that some of my customers are still wearing knits they bought from me 20 years ago.
