Polku (Path)

This hat is deep brown, warm, and grounding. Layers of different browns and grey marks run through the surface, like a forest path where earth, roots, and shadows intermingle. The wool has been left natural and rough. It is allowed to show the marks of its life.

The felting was done by hand with Marseille soap, warm water, and gentle movements. The work has progressed by listening to the wool, without haste. The shape curves softly and descends protectively around the ears, like a silent shield from the wind.

A light, branch-like pattern runs along the side. It is not precise or symmetrical, but follows its own path. This detail makes the hat unique. No two will ever be the same.

Polku is suited for the sauna, the ice hole, and the warmth of a hot tub. It accompanies you on winter days and forest trails. The hat has strength, ruggedness, and peace – for those who walk their own path.
