# Copy · #0090 Heartwood Handmade Felt Sauna Hat *Loop-B expedited, 2026-05-05*

## Title Heartwood Felt Sauna Hat — Handmade in Wales

## Subtitle 100% wool felt, hand-cut and sewn by Janine Dibling in Machynlleth, Mid-Wales. Limited run.

## Description In 2020, Heartwood Saunas — the Welsh sauna-building company reviving Britain's ancient bathing tradition — teamed with Janine 'JB' Dibling, an artisan shoemaker in Machynlleth, to make a hat that could actually be used in a sauna. Dibling works at Ruth Emily Davey's shoemaking workshop. She found that constructing the hat from separate panels, rather than stretching felt over a mould, produced something more robust and more precisely shaped. Each hat is cut by hand, assembled on her industrial Singer sewing machine, and finished with a leather Heartwood motif.

The result is a slate-grey wool felt skull cap with leather fastening. It does the job — protects the head in high heat — and looks exactly like something made by a person in a workshop.

Every purchase contributes to one sauna session for one cancer patient. The warmth is the point.
