KIARA Beanie 100% Alpaca 506 Dark Grey

KIARA is a handmade, medium-weight beanie knitted from 100% alpaca, designed for autumn and winter, with an extended back and no turn-up cuff. Choose your preferred option and check the current lead time – some beanies are available ready to ship, while others are made to order.

Grey alpaca beanie for colder days

This knitted beanie has a simple, classic shape with a slight slouch at the back, so it sits well with both loose hair and tied-up styles. The dark grey shade (a cool, graphite tone) is easy to pair with a wool coat, puffer jacket or sporty outerwear, so KIARA works well as an everyday beanie for the city, work and walks.

• 100% alpaca – a natural medium-weight yarn, suitable for autumn and winter when you want warmth without a heavy, bulky beanie.
• Ribbed stitch and a beanie shape with an extended back – it sits close to the head without feeling tight, which helps with comfort during longer wear.
• Surface with a delicate halo – a subtle fuzz typical of alpaca beanies, giving the knit a softer look and a more enveloping character.
• High resistance to pilling – a practical choice if you are looking for a beanie for several seasons, worn often under or with a hood.
• Autumn–winter season – the medium weight makes it well suited to typical cold and windy city weather; this is not an extremely thick style.
• Against the skin: it may feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin – if you usually react to wool, consider wearing it with hair framing the forehead or choosing a smoother yarn.
• Handmade, knitted on needles – each piece is made individually, with attention to an even stitch and consistent shape, which supports fit and durability.
• Yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 – tested for harmful substances and intended for products that come into direct contact with the skin.

Accessories and care

If you prefer a beanie with pom-pom, you can order a matching knitted pom-pom for KIARA, made from the same yarn as the beanie. To create a coordinated cold-weather set, you can also choose matching knits – scarves, snoods or shawls in natural fibres, if you want a matching beanie and scarf set. Handmade alpaca beanies need gentle care: wash by hand only in lukewarm water and dry flat. You can find detailed guidance in the NitkoweLove wool care guide: how to care for wool accessories.
