The Tunisian chechia, chachia, or chachiya, is a very well-known headpiece throughout the Mediterranean world. This hat, a close cousin of the beret, is the national hat of Tunisia. In June 2018, Tunisian supporters honored Tunisia by cheering for their national team participating in the Football World Cup and by showcasing Tunisian culture with the star item: the chechia, a red wool hat, the color of the national flag!
The manufacturing of the chechia was considered a refined art following strict traditional principles.
Traditionally, the artisanal Tunisian chechia was made from combed wool, then knitted by women who crafted the "kabbous" caps.
Generally, the spinning of the wool takes place in Djerba or Gafsa, then the knitting is relegated to the expert "Kabbasat" of Ariana, the fulling continues in the waters of the Medjerda at El Batan, the carding is performed in El Alia where the thistles originate, and finally the dyeing is imbued in Zaghouan.
The finishing and shaping are finally completed in Tunis. At this frantic pace of production, the chechia surely traveled much more than the people who made it…

Avoid direct exposure to the sun, as this could alter the color of the wool.Delicate brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove lint and restore softness to the wool chechia. Brush gently in the direction of the fibers to avoid any damage.Styling a wool chechia:Adjusting the shape: After washing, adjust the shape of the wool chechia by manipulating it gently. Ensure that the shape is regular and that it fits your head well.
