A felt hat is the perfect accessory for exploring the rainy ruins of Achill Island, Ireland.
Apparently, yesterday was Felt Hat Day… who knew?
(FYI: Two days ago was Cream-filled Doughnut Day, while today is Collect Rocks Day.)
I hope yours was happy… I spent the better part of the day signing myself up for a Twitter account: @CCMFeltHats, if you like to tweet!

My Mission
I create highly functional, exquisitely handcrafted art-to-wear Heirloom Handknit Hats.
Winter is wonderful... but not if you're cold. That's where a lovely, warm hat fits in!
If wearing one of my hats helps you get outside and enjoy yourself, then I will have played my small part in making the world a little warmer and brighter.
Your head is sacred. It's my mission to create original art-to-wear hats that are worthy of your head.
Art-to-Wear for Every Head
Each of my Heirloom Handknit Hats begins as a giant, over-sized stocking cap, knit by hand of llama and wool.
Next, it is shrunk into a thick, durable felt in the washing machine, which is then shaped by hand and air-dried.
Finally, each hat is lined with a silky ribbon to keep it's shape and provide lasting comfort. Many are finished with freehand embroidery, as unique as the wearer.
All are signed, dated and numbered by hand.
With less than 200 made each year, these hats are truly limited-editon, art-to-wear pieces that will provide years of warmth and comfort for the lucky owner.

I love the picture of you looking into the ruins. I wish I could be out exploring with you. It looks like so much fun! And a little chilly. Probably a good day to be wearing a felt hat.

Thanks, Dawn!
Ireland in September was a good time for wearing a felt hat! The constant drizzle provided many days of “soft” weather, as they would say…
I’d love to go back… or maybe first to Scotland?
