The Sea Beanie is a closely cropped, cuffed beanie in the vain of classic fisherman's watch caps. Cut from 3 ends of 6.5 gauge Shaniko wool yarn, spun in North Carolina, and milled in Cleveland. 

Shaniko Wool Company is a program of American Merino wool. The wool comes from Merino and Merino/Rambouillet sheep raised in the Western U.S. With NATIVA Regen and RWS certification, the wool is both certified and traceable.

Dyed naturally with chestnuts, cutch, oak gall, iron, and plant-derived indigo by Green Matters Natural Dye Company. Naturally dyed items will show color and tonal variations, which are innate effects of the dye process. Some dyed items may transfer color during wear, in particular onto light colored fabrics and/or surfaces.

Because naturally dyed items are pH sensitive, we recommend washing them separarely in cold water using a pH neutral soap, and carefully reading the ingredient lists on any natural personal care products that could interact with the dye. Stains created by alkaline substances tend to disappear after washing; acidic substances are more likely to create permanent stains. We suggest soaking an item with an acid stain in cold water as soon as possible.

Store naturally dyed items away from direct sunlight. Long term exposure to UV can darken and/or lighten a color, depending on the dye used.
