Handcrafted from organic Icelandic wool specially prepared to enhance its softness, these collars float
on a cat's neck like a cloud. Wonderful for cats with sensitive skin and those who have trouble with
harsh synthetic materials.
Over time they get slightly fuzzy like a well loved sweater, but can
easily be trimmed up to look like new again. Made with breakaway safety
buckles. Hand washable. Adjustable for size. Leash use with these is
not recommended.
Choose the size that best fits your cat's neck - all collars are approximately 1/2" wide:
- Small/Kitten -- 6.5-7.5"
- Medium -- 8 - 9.5"
- Large -- 9.5 - 11"
- Extra Large -- 10.5" - 12"
Natural Colors
If you have concerns about dyed fabrics coming in
contact with your cat, these collars are of colors straight from
nature. Some animals and people have sensitivities to the chemicals
used to dye fabrics. (Please note that our hemp collars have yet to
yield a complaint in this area. Not a single cat or dog we know of has
had itching or fur loss from wearing them.) If natural colors
are your thing, you will certainly be pleased with these gorgeous
natural color collars.
Caring for your organic wool collar
Caring for a wool garment is not difficult or
time-consuming. Simply hand wash with a gentle liquid soap in a bowl or
tub with cool water. Lay flat to dry. The important thing to remember
with natural fibers is avoid using heat. Avoid hot water or hot drying
and
you will have a lovely collar for your cat to enjoy for years.
It should also be noted that these collars will
become fuzzy with wear. This increases their comfort but they may
occasionally benefit from a quick and non-invasive "fuzz clipping."
Just lay them flat and use scissors to trim the fuzzy outer layer which
will take no more than a few seconds.
Sizing your cat's neck for a collar
These handknit wool cat collars are somewhat
adjustable in length, but the most reliable fit would be one where
kitty is comfortable and the collar does not slip off easily. (They are
made with breakaway buckles.) The knit is slightly stretchy, but is
best for comfort rather than having it fit snug. If you currently do
not have a well-fitted collar, then wrap a piece of yarn around your
cat's neck and then measure the yarn's length to determine the most
appropriate length from the selection below. A properly fitted cat collar will allow enough
room for your finger to slip comfortably between the collar and your cat.
Don't be fooled by thinking a small cat has a small neck. Please, please, please measure before ordering.
