My designs are wet felted directly onto a form. They are not knitted
first. The most beautiful hats are a blend of colors which enhances and gives dimension to the felt. The richest colors
are often overdyed fawn or brown fibers.
Most styles are available in small, medium and large. Some are
also available in extra small and extra large. If you provide an exact measurement, I can adjust the size to fit during
the felting process. Use a string or tape measure. Starting from the center of the forehead, continue around the back of the
head at the widest part and back to the center of the forehead. Your head size is where the tape meets the beginning of the
tape. The tape should be taut but not too tight. If using string, remove and measure the amount of string used to go around
the head.
Each hat is made and finished by hand with a wire and
black trim along the edge of the brim to allow for custom shaping. A sweat band is sewn into the crown for comfort.
Decorative hat bands are coordinated to the color of the hat or a leather band is available. One of my favorite
things to do is collect bits and pieces of stuff. I have a variety of adornments and charms to personalize each
hat. If a hat is for a special order, I will try to match a request. For example: flowers, animals, shells or glass beads. The
cost of the decoration can increase the cost of the hat. I'll let you know if the decoration is not standard.
