The Design

“A bit of fluff, a bit of fuzz.”

With the subtlest of details and simplest of shapes, the is all about the way you feel when you wear it. Its clean lines—no visible edging treatment, no cuff, and nearly no visible shaping—are perfect for sublimely soft, squishy yarns that produce dense, delicious fabric. It just feels good.

Plush, chunky-weight Rowan yields a wonderfully cozy Minimalist Hat. A super-soft blend of extra fine merino and baby alpaca, Brushed Fleece is warm and insulating but remarkably light. And all that plump fluff means you’ll have a snuggly hat in no time!
