    Unique Winter beanies handcrafted from hand spun fleece with the lanolin left in. 

    Perfect for the Snow and Hiking.

    The wool has been spun and the beanie has been designed and handcrafted by Sue - Wool & Cotton Road.

    SUSTAINABLE LUXURY gift idea - all beanies are sent with a photo of the sheep who has grown the fleece for our pleasure.
    The sheep are lovingly cared for, NO mulesing.

    The lanolin left in the wool creates added warmth and water proofing.

    The fleece comes from Corriedale x Romney Marsh x Finn sheep lovingly cared for by my sisters-in-law.
    Sammy has provided the fleece for this beanie - dark brown/black.

    EACH BEANIE IS UNIQUE, fleeces change, they are hand spun, only the design remains.

    The beanie can be worn either head hugging or as a slouchy depending on the size you choose.

    The band is designed to be worn either down or folded up.

    Sizing:

    Small - approximately 48 - 52cm / 19 - 20.5 inches
    Medium - approximately 52 - 55cm/ 19 - 21.5 inches
    Large - approximately 55 - 58cm / 21.5 - 23 inches

    Head sizes vary enormously. If you are unsure of the size measure the circumference just above the ears and across the forehead. I am more than happy to assist if in doubt.

    Care:
    100% Australian wool:

    Hand washing is EASY and much quicker than a washing machine.

    1. Prepare a tub of warm water and mix in a mild soap product or use a laundry product recommended for wool.
    2. Examine for dirty spots and wash these areas first. A gentle finger rub will remove most spots and cause no harm to the wool.
    3. Immerse the beanie and gently squeeze the suds through.

    AVOID TENSION - Do not dunk up and down in the water. Squeeze out as much water as possible, without rubbing.
    RINSE - In warm water, squeeze and spin dry (a lettuce spinner is great for removing excess water).
    Roll in a towel and leave to allow excess moisture to be drawn off.
    Lie flat to dry.
