The Wool Hat is a knitted hat worn on the head to keep warm. It holds in heat and blocks most of the wind on the head. That makes it a solid pick for autumn and winter.
Its main cost is that it falls off fairly easily when the wearer is hit or knocked down. It is light, and it can be dyed to change its colour. It can also be burned as fuel or used as tinder.
The hat is a common find in clothing shops, department stores, pawn shops and army surplus stores. A survivor with knitting needles and Yarn can also knit one. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Wool Hat keeps the head very warm. It blocks most of the wind as well, so it suits cold and windy days.
It sits just below the Winter Hat, which is a little warmer, blocks all wind and keeps out some rain. It is much warmer than a Beanie, which gives about two thirds of the warmth and a third of the wind cover.
The hat falls off about two times in five when the wearer is hit or knocked down. A dropped hat should be picked up before moving on.
It uses the hat slot and clashes with hooded tops. These include the Hooded Jacket, the Bulky Hooded Jacket, the Hooded Sweater, full head gear and full suits with a hood.
Tailoring
The Knit Wool Hat recipe makes a new hat from one Yarn. It needs knitting needles, which are kept, and Tailoring 2. That makes the hat one of the easier warm pieces to make at home.
The Dye Clothes recipe accepts the Wool Hat, so its colour can be changed to match an outfit.

Notes
- One Yarn and a pair of knitting needles make a new Wool Hat.
- It can be dyed a new colour with the Dye Clothes recipe.
- It slips off fairly often in a fight, so check the ground after a scuffle.
- It can be burned as fuel or used as tinder to start a fire.
