Alpaca "tucked" Cloche hat, 1940's hat, wet felt hat, order hand dyed Cloche hat, water resistant hat, Ancient wet felt production hat

Fun and jazzy tucked cloche has the '40's flare with a little "snap". The fiber is 100% raw alpaca, which is hypo-allergenic. The yarn embellishment is wool, also hand-dyed. The entire production is from start to finish with raw, uncleaned fleece to the final product of a beautiful hat for many occasions. Hat size is medium, to medium large. Each hat is crafted completely by hand incorporating the Viking tradition of wet felting. It is very durable, water resistant, and easy to maintain. A simple hand wash with cool water and gentle detergent (I recommend Dawn dish washing soap for best results.) Gently squeeze through a couple drops of detergent and let rest for 30 minutes. Finish with a final squeeze; rinse with cool water while squeezing, until it runs clear. Roll the hat in a towel to soak up excess water, then re-form and allow to dry in normal room temperature. You can even do a little personal re-shaping during the drying process to add that personal touch. All inquiries are encouraged to provide order personalized information you prefer.
