FAQ

Q: My head is ____ (big, small, etc.) How do I know what product will fit me best?

A: Excellent Question!

All the knit hats and headbands will fit an adult head between 20-23 inches in circumference, they are very stretchy and can accommodate different sizes. If your head is smaller than 20 inches, the beanie will still fit, but it'll be a slouchy fit.

Please contact me prior to ordering if you need a hat that is a different size, we can work something out.

Q: I wear my knit pom beanie all the time! How do I clean it?

A: Wool-based knitwear does not require washing due to anti-microbial components. If washing is needed, it is recommend that you spot clean the body of the knit hat with lukewarm water, or use a wool wash and cool water to handwash the beanie. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the beanie while it is wet. Lay the knit hat flat to dry and avoid stretching or wringing of knit beanie. Knitwear may pill as a natural result of friction. Carefully use a sharp scissors or a fabric shaver to remove any unwanted fuzz from the knit hat.

To give your pom pom extra pep, use a hair dryer on low heat or vigorously shake the pom pom to reshape. If the pom pom gets saturated, hang upside down to regain shape or shake vigorously. ** Avoid washing or drying the faux fur pom pom as they are acrylic and can melt**

If a pom pom does accidentally get tossed into the dryer and melts, I can replace your pom pom for you! Pom Pom replacement is $12 to replace the pom, clean up the hat and send it back to you so we can get your hat looking like new again!

Knit Hat and Headband Information

Q: What is your knit pom hats, slouchy beanies, and headbands made of?

A: Each Uffda Knits hat is handcrafted with premium 100% merino wool or an 80% acrylic and wool blend. I've included specifics on each product page.

Each pom is a handmade faux fur pom pom. The pom poms are fastened to the beanies using a button and a bow on the underside of the hat. This allows you to easily remove the pom (and reattach the pom using the included large eye tapestry needle).
Do not leave a child unattended with this item as the button inside the beanie and the leather tag may pose as a choking hazard.
Due to the handmade nature, this item is not always able to withstand curious baby and toddler hands. Uffda Knits is not responsible for any damage to the hat caused to this item due to a child.

Q: Where are all your products made?

A: All of Uffda Knits products are handcrafted by Ashleigh Wempe in her Minnesota home.
