The Sun Above

The Sun Above is a wet-felted wool skull hat made with hand-dyed merino wool and accented with dark burgundy dyed sheep’s locks. The bright flower at the crown mimics the sun and calls back to warm summer days—held here as comfort and resilience during colder seasons.

The spiral center represents a connection to the spiritual world—something unseen, imagined as always above us. The interior is fully lined in purple, a color associated with intuition, wisdom, and inner sight. Designed to sit above the ears, this four-layer wool hat offers warmth without heaviness.
