We produce hand knit goods

the way it has been done in Norway through generations. My mom, like many before her, in her favorite chair working two or more knitting needles with a large measure of patience.

Every Red Hat Factory product is hand knit in four to five work hours

We do not intend to speed up the process.

In a world of mass production and factories, we want to celebrate the slow and steady hand craft ingrained with years of heritage.

A mother teaching a daughter to knit, and a son building a brand around it to honor the slow development of crafted goods. It is my mother sitting in her favorite chair, enjoying knitting, while their little dog runs around playing with her favorite toy.

You might say the name Red Hat Factory is used sarcasticly, though my mother is producing knitted goods like one.

The caps have a decade long guarantee on stitches coming loose, or threads snapping from years of wear. Send it back, and we’ll patch it up and ensure a long life and time to develop a heritage of its own.

Read our story

Our caps are 80% pure sheep wool, the socks 85%

The wool type is handpicked from South America and imported to a Norwegian mill, where it is processed.

The South American sheep are chosen over the Norwegian ones, because the wooly cousins down south yield just a bit softer wool.

After more than a year of testing, we went as natural and classic as we could, but decided to keep a blend of nylon for extended durability in all our products.

Take care of your 80% of wool
