No Need to Be So Sheepish.

Not all wool is created equal. For instance, wool sourced in China can be from older sheep with fleece that has grown to be more coarse and itchier.
Whereas, U.S. sourced wool, like what we use for KIN's women felt hats, come from Rambouillet Sheep, also known as the French Merino.
Raised in St. Angelo Texas, the Rambouillet sheep is shorn twice a year using humane shearing practices. The Rambouillet sheep produces the best back fleece at fine 19 microns which is ideal for felting wool.
At KIN, we consider every step of the hat making process, whether it be the way the sheep are raised and sheared, to how our hats travel to you. In our opinion, no detail is too small.
