Tubular Knit Woollen Cap – of the French or English Voyager Sort

This hand-knitted cap, fashioned in the tubular manner, may be worn in diverse ways to suit the season or the wearer’s fancy. It may be doubled, leaving the tapered end to fall rakishly to one side, or turned wholly inward and folded at the brim, thus affording four stout layers of woolen warmth about the ears. The pattern from which it is wrought is informed by a surviving example taken from the wreck of Le Machault, a French vessel of war. Such a style is proper from the 17th century through the mid-19th century—and remains both useful and comely today.

Each is knit by hand from Bartlett’s 100% wool, sport-weight yarn—well-suited to this French toque, also known in English circles as a voyager’s cap. The yarn hath been preshrunk prior to knitting, that it may better hold its shape and size in wear and washing.

Should your desired size or hue not be presently in stock, do not be dismayed. I shall gladly knit one for you upon request. Custom orders may require a fortnight or two. Should you wish yours made from handspun yarn, kindly allow one to two months for spinning and knitting. Please enquire after available colours.

This same stout yarn is employed in the making of our hand-wear, that you might furnish yourself with a matched set.

Care Instructions: Place your cap within a laundry bag; wash upon the gentlest cycle, taking care the water be of one temperature throughout. Lay flat to dry.

You might also consider a Lavender Sachet to lay among your woollens, to keep them fresh and safe from the moth.

We shall dispatch your order by U.S. Mail, either Priority or Ground, according to your preference. Simply make it known, and we shall see it done.
