BEANIES - TEE PEE - LAMBSWOOL

A tee-pee or ti-pi provides warmth and comfort during Winter. A tent like structure traditionally made from upright wooden poles with animal skins wrapped around the outside – an opening left at the top for smoke to escape. Fires can be used inside the tee-pee for heating and cooking. The tee-pee was intended to be portable, it can be dismantled and erected quite quickly allowing its dwellers a more nomadic lifestyle.
We’ve created a little Tee-pee for your scone!

BEANIES - SURG - LAMBSWOOLE

Serge twill fabric is a a type of woven fabric with diagonal ridges on both sides. Way back in the 16th Century when most of the English wool was exported to Calais, France it was woven into Serge twill fabric. When Calais was taken over by the French in 1558 there was a strong surge in the English weaving industry – creating their own twill fabric.
With an ironic twist, here at Otto & Spike our highly talented knit machine technician goes by the very fitting name of ‘Serge’

BEANIES - VERTOGO -  LAMBSWOOL

I always wanted to open a chain of little pop-up stores at local skate bowls. A one stop pop up shop. A place that supplied spare parts for your deck, a do it yourself repair station, a first aid bar and a range of delicious refreshing cool drinks and snacks.

BEANIES - JANGLING - LAMBSWOOL

A diverse collection of wind chimes adorns the tree branches at my bedroom window.  Lulling me to sleep at night and gently rousing me awake each morning.  As the seasons change, their gentle rhythm crescendos to a loud discordant jangling whilst the winds churn through the trees limbs.Historically, wind chimes have been known to keep evil spirits and birds at bay.  I’m not so sure what effect they have on the evil spirits or indeed the birds.  There’s something about their sound and movement that the possums are seemingly drawn to.
To me the random comforting melodies played as I rest, blanket me with a certain calming reassurance.  Like a sixth sense, they gauge my surroundings and protect me.  Perhaps a grown-ups version of a baby mobile.

BEANIES - FROSTY - MERINO

This deceptively small looking base layer beanie was designed specificallly with commuting cyclists in mind, in fact anyone who needs to keep their head warm and wear a helmet. During the last couple of winters we’ve noticed folks with a regular beanies squeezed inside their cycle helmets, this could mean two things it’s very uncomfortable or the helmet has been adjusted to accommodate the beanie. Not ideal. We tried various yarn combinations and knit structures finally arriving at this combination of fine merino wool and elastane, knitted in a single tubular layer.

BEANIES  - BASE - MERINO

Planning on climbing Mount Everest anytime soon? Then this is the beanie for you. Made from two deluxe layers of Australian Extrafine Merino Wool, this beanie is sure to keep your head toasty and warm. No matter which base camp you choose, Nepal or Tibet, we can guarantee that it’s going to be chilly. Both base camps are over 5000 metres above sea level, a perfect place to acclimatise before heading off on the adventure ahead. Merino wool fibres absorb moisture, up to 36% of its own weight! This means moisture is absorbed away from your skin. What a clever fibre, whilst it absorbs sweat, it repels light rain. We think this makes a perfect little hiking companion.
