CCMHats Youngest Fan — Riley T. of Healy, Alaska:
In gratitude for encouraging me, I present the inaugural members of the new CCM Hats Fan Club, Lisha and Steve:
…whom I met at the 74th Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair at Mt. Sunapee this August.
I was tickled to encounter such enthusiastic hat folks, especially in the heat of summer.
And while Lisha indeed looks fantastic in her beautiful, embroidered hat, I have to give a special thanks to Steve, for giving the hats a chance and finding one just right for him, too.
Thanks so much for loving and wearing my Heirloom Handknit Hats, Steve and Lisha!

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.

My Goal
I strive to create highly functional, exquisitely handcrafted art-to-wear Heirloom Handknit Hats.
Winter is wonderful... but not if you are 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 your world a little warmer and brighter.
Your head is sacred. I aim to create original art-to-wear hats that are worthy of your head. -
