This is not cheap yarn that feels scratchy even on callused fingers like one of those $5 caps. It's not cashmere like the $80 caps either. But it's a true wortsed wool (the yarn is tightly wound with long fibers making for a smooth durable yarn).

The size is ample enough that you can have a large cuff and still pull the cap down over your ears and low on your forehead.  Got a big head? Use a smaller cuff and you'll still well.

This is a machine-knit product made with heavy yarn, resulting in a thick fabric. Felt like a blessing today walking a mile and a half inn 14F degree weather.

If the cap gets stretched out or out of shape, hand wash and block it. But it's a watch cap, what's out-of shape? ;)
