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 fans honored Tunisia by cheering for their national team in the FIFA World Cup and promoting Tunisian culture by showcasing 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 fashioned the "kabbous" caps.
Generally, the spinning of the wool takes place in Djerba or Gafsa, then the knitting is entrusted to the expert Kabbasat of Ariana, the fulling continues in the waters of the Medjerda in El Batan, the carding is performed in El Alia where the thistles originate, and then the dyeing is infused in Zaghouan.
The finishing touches and shaping are finally completed in Tunis. At this frenetic pace of production, the chechia surely traveled much more than the humans who made it...
