My Fedora
Although “MyFedora” is not for sale (It’s MINE !!!) I would happily make one for you in your choice of colours and size. This can take up to a week, weather permitting (snow storm season is due any minute and the woolen mill that I use is out on the wilds of the Alberta Prairies.) I do have several colours of wool on hand, as well. This is my own design, obtained by working from a very basic cloche style and building on the features that I wanted. Each is unique, as the different colours of wool actually do behave differently in the working and shaping that is required. It is like Christmas Morning, every time !
At least the cats have learned to (mostly) just watch while I work with the wool, which they go positively ga-ga over if they start pawing and digging in it; the peacock feathers are a different matter entirely. I had parked “MyFedora” on the top of a high book shelf near the front door, thinking that they wouldn’t even know it was there. Strange rumblings and thuds brought me on the run, to find the best-behaved cat happily perched on that high shelf, ready to help herself to my feather. Back to the top of the fridge for my hat. I don’t need more fridge space–I need more top.
