Product description
Did you know you lose up to 80% of your body heat from your head? Of course, this is only true if you have an extremely large head, otherwise it’s about 7%. But still, can you afford to lose 7%? That, no doubt, is the question that’s brought you here.
If you are going to keep your head warm, don’t you want to look good while doing so? Enter the Yukiguni Woolly Hat – a softer take on the original Niwaki Woolly Hat, with a ribbed design and slightly tapered crown to give a little extra height at the top. A small Niwaki hanko on the cuff announces your gardening credentials.
Knitted in Yamagata, an area known for its chilly winters and heavy snow, they’re made from 100% Japanese-spun Australian Merino wool. We love them so much we made two colours: a red reminiscent of the akane madder plant, and a soft konjo blue. Flip a coin if you can’t decide – they’re both very nice.
‘Yukiguni’ means ‘snowy country’ in case you were wondering, referring to the mountainous north west of Japan, and Yasunari Kawabata’s novel of the same name.
Best usage
Merino wool’s natural qualities (moisture-wicking, odour-resistant and exceptionally soft) mean it’s pretty good at looking after itself. If you do need to wash it, do so gently in cool water using a mild detergent. Reshape while damp and leave to dry flat.
