Straw hat weaving technique (Yinzhou straw hat weaving technique)
Straw hats are also called "Ningbo cool hats" and are divided into "big white" and "double-rooted hats". They are made of straw and wheat straw. In 1922, Shi Xiangxiong from Yin County used wheat straw to create a Western-style hat for women, named "Jiahe hat". It is light in texture and beautiful in style, and is very popular among women in Europe and the United States. The production of straw products in Ningbo enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad. According to existing information, it is the earliest birthplace in Zhejiang Province.
