~~~~~
Do you want to turn heads and hearts? This Surrealistic Sculptural Fantasy Hat is a tour de force of wearable art. Inspired by the concept of 'Pause', the hat explores how nature inspires and gives our souls peace.
Depending upon the wearer, this hat could be worn as part of a fairytale costume OR as a dramatic statement hat.
COLOUR:
• This felted headwear is soft sage green and white in colour. The 'eyelashes' are creamy natural-coloured Romney wool.
SHAPE:
• This hat has an unusual, elongated sculptural silhouette based on the form of a human eye. Running horizontally are many felted cords that are carefully sewn down. Hence, they hold their elegant arches and curves.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 6" / 15 cm in height, 16.5" / 42 cm in width, and 10.5" / 25.5 cm in depth.
• It is a lightweight felted hat: 5.7 ounces / 163 grams.
• HEADSIZE - It's a SMALL to MEDIUM-sized hat and fits a range of 21.75" / 55 cm to 22.5" / 57 cm. Although, if you have a larger head, you could wear the hat higher up and use bobby pins - kind of like a fascinator.

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.
