Blue CHMURKA beanie – light, but warm enough when needed

The CHMURKA style is a classic women’s beanie with no turn-up cuff and a slightly extended back. The fine alpaca-and-wool knit gives it a light look while still providing suitable warmth for cool, windy days outside the peak of winter. The medium blue shade works well with both dark and light jackets, which makes it easy to pair for everyday wear.

• Composition: 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool – the blend of natural fibres with added polyamide creates a light, springy knit that does not feel heavy on the head.
• Beanie without a cuff, with an extended back – a comfortable shape that sits well with loose hair and a coat, creating a more urban look.
• Surface with a delicate halo – a soft, slightly cloud-like finish typical of alpaca beanies; it adds visual warmth to an outfit.
• Warm women’s beanie for autumn and spring – the construction and yarn thickness work well from cool mornings to windy afternoons in the city.
• Against the skin – for very sensitive skin, the beanie may feel slightly itchy; in that case, we recommend wearing it over loose hair or with a headband underneath.
• Pilling resistance: medium – natural fibres may develop small pills over time, especially under a hood or with frequent rubbing against a scarf; this is a natural process in alpaca beanies.
• Handmade with knitting needles – each handmade beanie is an individual piece, with small differences typical of handcrafted work, which helps avoid a mass-produced look.
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified – the yarn used for the beanie has been tested for harmful substances, which matters in a product worn directly against the skin.
• Finished with an eco-leather label – the label can be unclipped for washing, which makes care easier and reduces the risk of damage.

How to wear and care for the CHMURKA alpaca beanie

In practice, this elegant women’s winter hat works best as an everyday transitional beanie: for work, university, or a walk in the city. Thanks to its classic beanie shape, it pairs well with coats and parka jackets. If you like matching sets made from natural fibres, you can pair it with an alpaca scarf or snood — you’ll find them in the handmade wool accessories section, also in other shades of blue and grey: matching wool accessories.

To help your alpaca wool beanie keep its shape and softness for many seasons, wash it by hand only in lukewarm water, without fabric softeners, and dry it flat. You can find detailed care instructions for wool beanies, including alpaca and mohair styles, here: wool care.
