This bundles accompanies the wool felt sauna hat free sewing tutorial.

Two of my dearest friends recently opened wood-fired saunas on opposite sides of the country (Seaside Sauna in Port Townsend, WA and Wild Trails Sauna in State College, PA). They both asked me to design and craft wool felt sauna hats for their businesses and I happily agreed. These were such a hit I made a free sewing tutorial and these accompanying bundles for my shop. Each bundle includes a 21 x 10" piece of thick plant-dyed 100% wool felt, 6 yards of lace weight mohair/silk yarn, and a hand sewing needle. Note that the tutorial is not included - you can find it here. 

Available in 4 colors:

• natural/tea-dyed with dark turquoise yarn
• midnight with soft pink yarn
• plum with lime green yarn
• sky blue with red yarn

Sauna hats originated in the sweat-bathing cultures of Eastern Europe, Russia, and the Nordic regions. A wool hat helps to regulate your temperature in the extreme heat and steam so you can enjoy a longer session.  A sauna hat also protects your hair. Repeated exposure to extreme heat can dry out your hair, making it brittle and prone to breakage. Traditional sauna hats have a signature loop so you can hang your hat to dry after each session.
