Please message me directly before purchasing. handspun wool and mohair. This item is shipped from Canada with tracking. This hat will be warm, soft and stretchy so it will fit various sizes of heads. I tell people if you need to wash it use a little dawn dish soap or soap for wool just a tad. Cool water, swish it around a little not to much, rinse in cool water, swish a little. Do not wring out, lay flat on towel, fold towel over it so it covers it and you can place walk on it to get extra water out. Do that a couple of times and they just lay flat to dry. You're not working in a coal mine with it so you can just use a little free-breeze if you want to freshen it up. Wool is micro antibacterial and warm in the Winter as well as cool in the Summer.
