Rieumu (Rejoice)

This hat carries several shades side by side. The pale wool base is joined by warm flecks and patches of brown and grey, like a forest floor between autumn and spring. The surface is vibrant and varied, full of the wool's own movement.

The felting was done by hand, with warm water and Marseille soap. The movement has been calm, at times pausing. The wool has been allowed to find its place, layer by layer, without haste.

The shape is asymmetrical and slightly forward-leaning. Taller at the back, protective at the front. The edges move freely, and no single line is perfectly straight. This gives the hat softness and character.

The wool of three sheep is visible and felt. The meeting of shades, the small fibres, and the details make every part its own. This cannot be copied – this is one, as it is.

It suits the warmth of the sauna, the edge of the ice hole, and the crisp days of winter. Also the forest, where colours blend into their surroundings and the moment is allowed to simply be.
