    Winter beanies hand spun in the grease and 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 has been created from my collection of wonderful vintage patterns.

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

    Beanies available:

    Large - Cheeky

    Orders taken via Contact

    Price:
    Small $69.50
    Medium $74.50
    Large $74.50

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

    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.

    Wool & Cotton Road items are made entirely from natural fibres. Packaging is recyclable and ready to give as a special gift.
