Winter beanies hand spun in the grease, hand knitted by Wool & Cotton Road.

Perfect for the Snow and Hiking.

Sustainable luxury gift idea - all beanies are sent with a photo of the sheep who has grown their fleece for our pleasure.

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

10% of all beanie sales is donated to research into Brain Tumours. Recipients include the Mark Hughes Foundation (Newcastle) & The Brain Cancer Group (Sydney).
Both groups are working to advance knowledge and cures for brain tumours. 

The fleece is from Romney Finn sheep lovingly cared for by my sisters-in-law.

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.

I do my best to display the colours accurately but monitors do differ.

Care:
Australian Romney Finn 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.
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.
