PARASISAL:Hi,
What is exactly a "parasisal hat"?
By the time you've finished the course, you should have completed a parasisal and a cocktail hat.
Thanks.
Sisal is a material. A 'sisal' hat is the same as a 'parasisal' but a one over one weave is used, it's less popular and a little coarser. You will find further information by googling 'parasisal'.PARASISAL:
A fine, high quality natural straw made from sisal, bleached or dyed to colour, comes in grades from one through to five. Normally reserved for expensive hats. Delicate in texture but resilient in wear, takes dye well. Parasisal is made using two over two weave.
You haven't given any real context, just one that we have to deduce - hat making apparently. I looked up 'parasisal' and found the following on hatsuk.com
