Herdwick wool ribbed beanie
This simple rib style beanie hat has been hand-knitted from a brown grey shade of British Herdwick wool.
This functional beanie has been knit "in the round", so there are no ugly uncomfortable seams. It is a close-fitting style, great for wearing under a hood or helmet. To fit average adult head size 55-62cm (21.5 - 24 inches) and slightly stretchy for a comfortable fit.
Hand-washing is best to keep pure wool in top condition, but if your machine has a cool/ gentle/ wool setting then that works too!
All Roses Workshop items are handmade by me in my Lancashire workshop. Custom orders are welcome.

I love the cheeky look of the Herdwick sheep with it's white face and sticking-out ears on a body of grey/brown wool. This tough animal lives on the Cumbrian hills through all weathers, so the wool it grows is sturdy too.
