I have a plain thin wool knit cap from EMS. I know they don't have them in Canada, but, I am sure you can find a wool hat without having to make one. I have bought quite a few hats from artisan fairs, or specialty shops, because I have a kid's sized head and since I seem to look like one big wrinkled face when I put on a hat, I am kind of particular about what I wear. The hat from EMS is the best one yet. I also have one of those hand made knit hats, with the ear flaps. It is heavier wool, lined with fleece. I bought it in Lake Placid, when I was freezing, a few years ago. It is the warmest damn thing around. I can only wear it when it gets below 20 F or less, when I am x country skiing or snow shoeing. So while the hat is all wool, the fleece lining adds a lot of warmth.
