Ellie lives high in the North Pennines on her off-grid smallholding, where she  keeps her own flock of rescue sheep purely for wool.

Having spent many years as a British wool specialist felt-maker making, among other things, many hundreds of felt hats, in the summer of 2015 Ellie undertook a millinery course in order to work on a new range of hats. She spent a year developing these hats which are made from a combination of fleeces from her own sheep and British wool tweeds, including Harris Tweeds and tweeds woven from yarns from Ellie's flock. The hats are handstitched and are lined with carefully sourced organic cottons. ​

Hats by Ellie Langley can be made to order, please contact Ellie to discuss sizes, costs, timescales (typically between three and six months) and your requirements. Ellie has a handful of hats in stock, some of which you can see here.
