Stay-Put Warmth for Little Ears
There is a reason this hat is a staple in every Norwegian wardrobe. Our Winter Cap is meticulously knitted from 100% organic merino wool using a special ribbed stitch that provides incredible elasticity. It "hugs" your child’s head securely without being tight or itchy, ensuring it stays in place during the most active playground adventures.
We chose the melange knit for its beautiful depth of color—it’s designed to look like the textures of the forest and, practically speaking, it’s excellent at hiding a bit of "adventure dirt" until laundry day.
Why it’s a Little Mino Essential:
-
Temperature Regulating: Organic wool keeps ears toasty in the Ottawa wind but prevents overheating when the sun comes out.
-
Safety First: The snug fit means it won't slide down over little eyes while they are climbing or running.
-
Grows With Them: The high elasticity means one size can often last for multiple seasons.
-
Clean & Pure: No synthetic blends or chemical coatings—just soft, breathable nature.
The Details:
-
Material: 100% Organic Merino Wool.
-
Fit: Designed to cover the ears fully.
-
Style Tip: Pairs perfectly with our Safety Loop Scarf for a full windproof set.

Why Disana Organic Wool? ▾
Disana has mastered the art of organic wool for over 40 years. Using GOTS-certified organic virgin wool, they create "Boiled Wool" that is naturally windproof, water-repellent, and incredibly sturdy for outdoor play.
Highest ecological standard. Pure virgin wool from organic livestock, free from harmful chemicals and pesticides.
The traditional "Walk" (boiling) process creates tiny air chambers, making the fabric windproof and resistant to light rain.
Contains natural wool wax (lanolin) which neutralizes odors and keeps moisture on the surface. Dirt can simply be brushed off.
Unlike Superwash wool, Disana keeps the wool scales intact, preserving the fiber’s natural strength and warmth.
The Lanolin Secret: Disana wool rarely needs washing. The natural lanolin reacts with moisture to "self-clean." If it gets muddy in Ottawa's slush, let it dry and simply brush the dirt away. Only wash when absolutely necessary with a pH-neutral wool shampoo.
There is something so special about Disana’s organic wool. It’s heirloom quality. The kind of pieces you pass down from one sibling to the next. It’s exactly the standard of 'clean' I wanted for my own five children.
