Merdø – Sauna Hat in 100% Norwegian Wool
Merdø – Sauna Hat in 100% Norwegian Wool
Unavailable
Beige Norwegian wool, named after an old outport in Southern Norway.
Merdø is a light, timeless sauna hat made from 100% Norwegian wool. The colour is calm and natural, while the material does what wool does best: creates an insulating layer between your head and the intense heat of the sauna.
The story behind the name
Off the coast of Arendal lies Merdø, an old outport that appeared on Dutch nautical charts as early as the 16th century. Its sheltered anchorage became important to shipping, and the landscape still bears the gravel and stone left by the Raet moraine. Our light beige wool found its name here.
Why wear a sauna hat?
Putting on wool in an already hot sauna may seem counterintuitive. But insulation is precisely the point. Heat rises, and the head is often the first place where the temperature becomes uncomfortable. The dense wool felt shields it from the most intense heat, helping your head stay more comfortable while your body is free to sweat. It also protects your hair and scalp from dry heat.
100% Norwegian wool
The felt is made from Norwegian wool at Sjølingstad Uldvarefabrikk in Southern Norway. The hats are then sewn in small batches in Norway. No complicated material blends. Just thick Norwegian wool felt and a simple product designed to do one job properly.
Use and care
For best results, use the hat dry. Wool is naturally resistant to odours and rarely needs washing between sessions. When needed, soak the hat in cold water, then leave it to dry without wringing. Avoid machine washing and high heat.
