The Dryden Hat design is inspired by the Mitchell family of Mitchell Wool Co., a Michigan-based family farm that produces exceptional, farm-specific American yarn.

Made with their luxurious American Camel and Rambouillet blend, this 2-ply bulky yarn is a joy to work with, offering softness and durability.

The hat’s slouchy silhouette features a broken rib pattern and playful cables, reflecting the warmth and tradition of family-run American fiber farms. With their commitment to natural dyeing methods and sustainable farming, Mitchell Wool Co. ensures their wool production benefits the earth and local community, keeping American wool in the hands of U.S. makers.
