Golden Horn Felted Fascinator
If you have a larger or smaller head size, don't worry! This sculptural fascinator is worn with a braided millinery elastic that goes around by the nape of the neck AND a felt-covered headband. These help it stay put on your head.
Note: Compared to 99 percent of my felted hats, the Golden Horn is much more delicately balanced. The horn is heavy in comparison to its hat base.
I created the horn through Gladys Paulus's fantastic online workshop, Inspired by Nature - Horns.
COLOUR:
• This felted hat is yellow ochre to brown.
SHAPE:
• The hat is beret-like with a large, asymmetrically curved horn and can be worn at a VERY jaunty angle. Note: The horn is a solid form and, therefore, has some heft.
• Inside the hat is a white millinery elastic to help keep the hat on your head!
SIZE:
• The hat measures 3.9" / 10 cm in height, 11.5" / 29 cm in width, and 12" / 50.8 cm in depth.
• It is a somewhat heavy-weight hat due to the construction of the horn: 12.4 ounces / 351 grams.
• HEADSIZE - Fits any head size.

Care
Care
Of course, you can wear your hat in the rain. After all, felt is made with soap and water, yet naturally resists water. However, if your hat gets drenched, please air dry it by sitting over a wine bottle, so that the brim can retain its shape.
What is Felt?
What is Felt?
Each FeltHappiness Hat is entirely handmade and created from soft Merino wool fibers using the technique of wet felting. It's an ancient and simple craft that takes patience and lots of kneading to shrink the fibers into a strong, flexible, and warm felt. To learn more, see HERE.
In addition to insulating, wool naturally resists water. Hence, your felted hat will keep you warm in chilly weather and dry in light rain. Plus, wool resists mildew, dirt, and fire!
It's magical stuff!
Measuring Your Head
Measuring Your Head
Every head has its own unique size and shape, which can be measured with a flexible tape measure or even a piece of string.
Take the tape measure and encircle your head, just above the top of your ears. Make sure that the tape measure goes over that small bump at the back of your head. Please don't pull it tightly. Leave a little 'ease' so that one finger can fit under the tape. An ear-to-ear measure can be helpful too.
Measure three times: it is surprising how it can vary!
Inches or centimetres are fine.
Sustainability
Sustainability
Wool is a highly sustainable and eco-friendly material. Sheep grow their wool continuously and need to be shorn regularly for their own health and comfort. This means that wool is a renewable resource, and the production of wool does not harm the animal.
In addition, wool is biodegradable, which means that it will naturally decompose over time and will not accumulate in landfills or oceans. This makes wool a great alternative to synthetic materials that take centuries to decompose and contribute to environmental pollution.
Moreover, wool is an excellent insulator, which means that it can help to reduce energy consumption by keeping us warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It is also naturally flame-resistant and has antibacterial properties, making it a safe and hygienic choice for clothing and bedding.
Overall, wool is a sustainable and natural product with many benefits for both the environment and consumers. FeltHappiness Hats uses wool into our products to promote more sustainable and ethical fashion practices.
