Shipping calculated at checkout
As the days turn colder, it’s time to invest in some cozy winter woolies, and what better way to wrap up in style than with this gorgeous super soft merino wool hat? Hand-made from beautifully soft merino wool, this hat is ideal on a cold winter’s day.
The merino wool is 100% all-natural to ensure you’re comfortable all day. No itch, no sweat — the hat will keep you warm in winter and cool when transitioning to autumn.
You can expect a seamless, stylish, and slouchy hat with a bulk-free fit and relatively accommodating interlock-knit to fit different head sizes. The Fuschia color is excellent and will match most outfits, but if you want other colors to compliment your wardrobe, you can specify your color preference when making an order, and we’ll hand-dye it for you.
While most winter hats can make your head feel stuffy after a few hours, the merino wool fabric is highly breathable and will regulate your head's temperature without making it sweaty. You don’t need to worry about the hat accumulating odors after wearing it for a short period because merino wool is odor-resistant. Other critical features of this hat include:
- Odor-resistance properties neutralize body odor
- Machine washable fabric simplifies the washing process
- 100% all-natural merino wool fabric feels comfortable on your hair
- Moisture-wicking fabric ensures your head stays dry even when hot
Care Guide
While our sweaters are a great choice, because they are warm and durable, proper care should be always taken to protect your garment. We recommend all of our sweaters and wool garments are gently hand washed with a mild wool detergent, reshaped by hand and dried flat. If soaked for too long, the wool may shrink and become hard.
Alternatively, most of our sweaters can also be dry cleaned but always check the care label first. Under no circumstances should you machine wash or tumble dry your sweater or any other wool product. Remember, when you give your sweater great care, it will last you for a long time.

A Little Bit About Us
The Sweater Shop is a family-run business that was established in 1986 by Dom Byrne and his sister Breege. Now in its second generation, the company is run by Dom’s son Paul and daughter Laura, alongside their sister-in-laws Kate and Eileen Louise, and cousin Alva, who manages the Galway locations.
The Sweater Shop remains a true family affair, built on a strong sense of heritage and deep-rooted family values. When asked by a journalist from The Irish Times in 1986 what made his shop so special, Dom proudly said: "quality, value and selection" – and that still holds true today. The large selection of superb quality Irish Aran knitwear at reasonable prices quickly became a favourite among both locals and visitors. As a result, the business expanded to include outlets around the country including Dublin, Kilkenny, and Galway City. The flagship store on Nassau Street in Dublin, located directly across from Trinity College, continues to be a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the heart of the city.
From timeless classics to modern twists on traditional patterns, there’s something for everyone in our collection — come and discover your next favourite piece instore or online.
