Wool hat

Choosing a headdress for any woman is always difficult. The problem is not only in the selection of style, model and color, it is important to choose the right material that will warm, wear well and have all the important characteristics. In a special place for women are woolen hatsthat do not lose their relevance.

Benefits

Caps made of natural wool have a wide range of advantages, which not every fashionista knows about.

  • The hair is not electrified, which means the hairstyle will have a good look when you take off your hat. Electrified hair, as you know, puffs, knocks out from strands and becomes uncontrollable. With a woolen hat, this will not happen.
  • Hair in the cold season becomes vulnerable, and a hat made of wool provides them with reliable protection from frost, wind and snow. Moreover, the wool is able to absorb moisture and does not interfere with air exchange.
  • Wool is a hygroscopic material, which means that hair, even with prolonged wear, hats remain clean and have a neat appearance.
  • For the production of wool, it is not required to kill animals, unlike fur. Wool is obtained by cutting or combing.
  • Wool has a very low thermal conductivity, which means that even in very cold weather you will be warm.
  • The ability to take the required shape does not cause problems when storing the wool hat.
  • High wear resistance of wool allows the product to maintain an excellent appearance for several seasons and not lose its performance characteristics.

Models

A large number of hats of various styles and models are created from woolTherefore, the assortment every season is extensive and varied. The following models will be relevant this season.

We are used to the fact that the beads are made from tight knitwear., therefore, they turn out smooth, without any relief. But the designers decided to combine wool and such a fashionable style now. It turned out nice, relevant and warm.

When using thick wool in the creation of hats, relief models with beautiful patterns are obtained. The relevance of such hats has been keeping at a high level for some season. Among the whole variety of available patterns, “bumps”, “pigtails”, “ladders” are relevant. In addition to such headgear, scarves and snoods are asked for, which should be selected in accordance with the pattern or color.

Woolen turbans - a completely new trend in the world of fashion, which was borrowed from eastern culture. Not all girls can choose these accessories. Such an original headdress will adorn a girl with thin and neat features.

Berets that go beyond the classics are also created from wool. With the help of decor, a beret can turn into a youth or even a sports hat. Although the classic plain and concise models are still relevant. They fit perfectly into classic and business looks.

The youth style was replenished with hats in the form of animals, such as themselves, animal hats. They can be created not only from fur, but also from wool. The latter option is more affordable, but also original and spectacular.

Sports hats can be embodied in the form of a woolen knitted strip or cap with a visor. These hats are ideal for a sports jacket or a shortened down jacket.

Types of wool

The quality of the coat largely depends on which animal it was taken from. For hats, the following wool options are most often taken.

  • Camel's wool allows you to create warm, very light and durable products. Due to the porous fibers, the caps are practically weightless. Moreover, such wool does not wear out for a long time and does not even roll.
  • Yak wool and down - One of the warmest materials, so these caps can be worn in the most severe frosts.
  • Angora obtained from hairs taken from an Angora rabbit fur coat. This wool is very soft and delicate, perfectly warms and envelops in comfort. Most models of hats created from Angora are universal and can be used in many images.
  • Sheep's wool is the most affordable, in addition, caps from such material can be worn for several seasons. In such a hat it will be warm in any weather.
  • Much appreciated alpaca wool. This material is also wear-resistant, but differs from the previous wool in its soft structure and higher ability to retain heat.
  • Cashmere - Another type of wool that is actively used to create hats. Such products differ from the others in their fine structure, softness and low thermal conductivity. No matter how good the cashmere, but it requires special care and careful socks. But in this case, no one guarantees that the cashmere cap will last for several seasons. If you choose a hat from such wool, then you should look for the Scottish version of this material. Such a hat will be worn a little longer.
  • Merino Wool It is quite expensive, but such a hat will not prick. Such material is obtained by shearing a special breed of sheep.

Structure

Modern manufacturers have learned so skillfully combining wool with artificial materials that it is visually difficult to find the difference between hats with different compositions. It’s clear that a hat with 100% wool present will warm much better. If there is no way to buy such a product, then it is worth giving preference to a model in which the ratio of wool will be the greatest.

For winter, you should not choose a hat, which includes 50% acrylic and more. 30% polyester is also not the best option.If only 20% of wool or 70% of polyester is included in the cap, then it will not particularly warm. In a word, the more wool, the better, but no less than half, should be occupied by natural material.

What should I do if a woolen hat sits or stretches?

If the cap is stretched, it must be placed for 10 minutes in very hot water without adding powder. After soaking, it is necessary to wash the product without friction and push-ups. Now it's time for cold soaking for about 20 minutes. The principle of such manipulations is based on the ability of woolen things to sit down when exposed to hot water. Cold water will fix the result. The hat cannot be twisted, it must dry naturally. To do this, let the water drain and lay the product on a towel.

If the cap has become several sizes smaller, then it must be placed in cold water for about 10 minutes. After that, gently and easily need to squeeze out the water. Now we select an object that, in its shape and size, resembles a head, for example, a can. Pull a hat on it and leave it to dry completely.

Another way to add wool elasticity is to soak in water with the addition of hydrogen peroxide. For 10 liters, 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide is enough. The hat must be soaked in this mixture for an hour.

The images

  • Look at this snow-white openwork model, which looks very gentle and romantic. For winter, such a hat is not suitable due to its openwork structure, but for autumn, spring and off-season it will be just right. The color of the headgear is in perfect harmony with the color type of the model.

  • The next look is warmer and suitable for winter. The combination of milk with delicate beige, in which patterns are made, looks gentle and concise. The cap is complemented by a scarf, which is made in the same color and repeats the patterns of the headdress. Dark hair favorably sets off a light headdress, creating a harmonious look.
