This Jo Cranston Lambswool Fisherman’s Rib Beanie in Vintage Vicuna is crafted in her workshop in Sussex, England.
This longer style beanie is designed to be worn folded up to create a double or triple layer of warm over the ears. Knitted and finished to the highest quality, this hat is made from very soft premium non-mulesed lambswool spun in Scotland. The hat features a classic fisherman’s rib design; the rib construction makes this hat very warm and comfortable to wear.
This very special lambswool is spun by a mill located on the banks of a Scottish loch. Using the pure water from this loch to wash the woollen yarn creates a luxuriously soft handle to the knitwear Jo make's. Only environmentally friendly dyes that conform to REACH standards are used, allowing the water from the dyeing process to be cleaned and safely returned to the loch; a RSPB nature reserve.

How to wash and care for your lambswool
Wool is naturally anti-bacterial and odour resistant and therefore does not need to be washed after every wear.
Hang woollen items to air between wears instead.
To wash, gently hand wash in tepid water with clothes washing liquid suitable for wool. Gently squeeze out excess water, do not wring.
Avoid fabric softeners as these coat the fibres and make them less breathable.
Do not machine wash, this will cause shrinkage and felting.
