Eggplant Purple Peruvian Wool Hat

This 100% Peruvian wool hat has a form fitting style. This size fits most. It’s lighter weight than my Merino Wool options but is still softer than a traditional wool that we’ve all grown accustomed to. It’ll be a little looser on smaller heads and slightly more form fitting on larger head sizes. It measures 15” unstretched. For perspective, I have a large head and this size isn’t too tight. I can wear this size all day and it’s long enough to cover my ears.

Can be hand washed in cold water and laid flat to dry.

Only ethically sourced Peruvian wool is used. What makes it ethically sourced? I only use yarn brands that are guaranteed mulesing-free, ensuring that no sheep are harmed in the growing and gathering of their wool. The sheep are free range, meaning they’re allowed to live along the hillside just like old-style shepards used to do. How is the wool “harvested”? They give the sheep a buzz cut! Using electric clippers similar to those our hairstylists use, they cut the wool close to the sheep’s skin without harming the sheep. The sheep only receive their haircuts before lambing season, ensuring that newborns are not disturbed in the process.
