CHMURKA alpaca beanie – light but cosy for cool autumn days and early spring

The CHMURKA style in anthracite grey is a classic handmade alpaca beanie without a turn-up, finished with a gently extended back. The thin, springy knit with a noticeable soft halo sits well on the head and does not overwhelm your hairstyle, while still working as a practical, warm women’s beanie for everyday wear. The alpaca, polyamide and wool blend gives a pleasant feeling of coverage without much bulk, which in practice means comfort on cool transitional days – without the feel of a heavy winter hat.

• Blend with alpaca and wool – this alpaca wool beanie offers noticeable warmth in a lightweight knit; a good option for the city, walks, and everyday wear with a coat from autumn to spring.
• Thin, lightweight construction – this handmade beanie does not feel heavy on the head, fits easily into a handbag or pocket, and still helps protect the ears from chill and wind.
• Fluffy surface with a soft halo – gives texture and a lightly cloud-like look typical of an alpaca beanie; if you have very sensitive skin, the knit may feel slightly itchy.
• Beanie shape with an extended back – a classic, slightly relaxed form that suits an easy everyday style; it works well both with a coat and with a jacket.
• Shade 06 Anthracite (black-grey tone) – a neutral, practical colour that pairs easily with most outerwear and accessories.
• Hand-knitted finish – each handmade beanie in the CHMURKA series is knitted separately, which results in careful finishing and a natural difference from mass production.
• Moderate tendency to pill – with everyday wear, small pills may appear, as is typical for alpaca wool beanies; they can be removed carefully with a sweater shaver.
• Certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 yarn – useful information if you pay attention to textile safety standards for products worn against the skin.
• Removable eco-leather label – makes washing easier if you do not want to soak the label together with the beanie.
• Option to create a matching set – you can pair the beanie with matching handmade accessories, including alpaca scarves, snoods and shawls, which makes it easier to put together a cohesive set for the cooler season.
• Care – hand washing in lukewarm water and drying flat is recommended; you can find detailed care instructions for wool accessories here, which may help keep the beanie in good shape for the coming seasons.
