Another custom order. The customer supplied the main fabric and graciously left me the remnants, enough to make a roll-brim hat (displayed below). The long snood body is from a black crushed stretch velvet with a gold puffy paint print remniscient of Shabbos Challos. The classic twist headband is from a plain black stretch velvet.

How to choose a snood or hat fabric:

There are so many choices of fabric, it can be quite overwhelming! When choosing a fabric for your custom headcovering, keep in mind that a stretchy fabric is essential for a good fit, even on the pre-tied tichels. Look for knits, especially knits with added Lycra, that have a lot of stretch and good "recovery" -- that is, they return to their original size quickly when stretched, without wrinkling the fabric in the process.

Some excellent choices are Stretch Velvet; Stretch Crushed Velvet, also known as Panne; Cotton-Lycra Knits; and Slinky or other Lycra knits, such as Dancewear fabrics. Stretch Matte Jersey, if you can find it, also makes a very nice snood. Jersey or Interlock Knits without added Lycra may also work, but tend to stretch out faster over time.

You will need 1/2 yard per snood or hat, 3/4 yard per pre-tied tichel.
