Vuokko Tilus

About

This natural white Tilus beanie has been hand-knitted and hand-carded with traditional methods here in Pöytyä to give a special soft atmosphere and sophisticated form. This beanie can be traced all the way back to the carding machine, Granny that made it, spinnery that produced the yarn and sheep farm that provided the wool. 

Tilus means “grounds” in Finnish. 

This is my land. This is my beanie. This is where I belong. Tilus means “grounds” in Finnish. In the world of so many uprooted people, this collection continues Myssy traditions of modern provenance -  and makes you belong.  

Production

All of our garments are made from Finnsheep wool, produced in conjunction with our responsible partners. Similar in softness to Merino, the fiber's overlapping scales point inward making the yarn particularly soft, and in our opinion, there is no finer wool in the world!

High quality garments and accessories are hand-knit by local retired ladies known as The Myssy Grannies. These cheerful ladies are the essence of our brand, knitting their own positive energy and wisdom into every stitch, even hand signing each Myssy piece they finish.

Size

This Myssy is One Size (M) and it fits 85% of our customers. It fits well for hat sizes between 54 to 59 cm. Each Myssy is unique, and though all our grannies work off from the same size chart, not all hats are precisely the same.

All Myssy hats should feel a little tight in the beginning, the hat adjusts to the size and shape of your head within the first week of use

If you are unsure of the size or you know you will need larger size, you can always leave a comment while sending your order in and let us know you would like to have a bigger variation. We will do our best to take this into account!
