The outter part of the hat was made from wool that I washed in the washing machine with warm soapy water and then dried in the dryer. This felted it up just a little. The linning is black linen that was also washed and dried to prevent shrinking. The running stithes are done with a very dark brown wool yarn. The fur came from a hood I found at a second hand store in a bin with hats, which I paid fifty cents for it.
I also made a viking hat for myself this is a four pannel Birka cap with fur.
The cap is made of a cream wool that again was washed and dried. The stitching is done with wool yarn I purchased but is handmade and dyed. The fur was removed from a coat colar.
In this picture you can see the decorative herringbone stitch.....
