The problem

Your head can't take any more heat, but your core is still cool. So you get out before the sauna can do you any good.

And round after round, the hot, dry air weakens your hair.

How it works

Your head stays cool, you stay longer.

  1. 1

    Wool takes heat slowly.

    Felt is dense and full of air, so heat moves through it slowly.

  2. 2

    You stay a little longer.

    With your head covered, the warmth is easier to enjoy.

  3. 3

    You get more out of the sauna.

    Your body has time to warm up properly before your head gets too hot.

  4. 4

    Your hair stays covered.

    The felt keeps the hot, dry air off your hair, round after round.

Babi Rozika

This is my grandma Rozalija. Not just mine, really. She is everyone's grandma.

She is 94 and sews every WOLNA hat by hand, at home in Maribor. She has been sewing since she was 15. It is her lifelong passion.

We made WOLNA for her, to honour her heritage and her love for us. The name comes from volna, the Slovene word for wool.
