Light alpaca beanie for everyday wear

The CHMURKA style has a smooth stitch, no turn-up cuff and a slightly elongated back, so it sits naturally and does not look bulky. Pearl grey is a calm, easy-to-match shade, which makes this handmade beanie easy to wear with everyday jackets as well as simpler, more put-together outfits. The fine halo on the surface gives the knit a soft look.

• Composition: 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool — this women’s alpaca beanie combines a natural fibre with lightness and practical elasticity.
• Thin, lightweight knit — a good choice if you are looking for a beanie for transitional weather rather than a very thick winter hat.
• Beanie without a turn-up cuff — less volume around the face and a simpler, more relaxed shape.
• Elongated back — the beanie sits more loosely at the back of the head, creating the characteristic line of this style.
• Fine halo and smooth stitch — the surface does not look harsh, so this can also work as a more refined winter beanie in a lighter, transitional version.
• Against the skin: it may feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin — important to know if you do not tolerate even lightly fluffy wool beanies well.
• Pilling resistance: medium — with regular wear, natural signs of use are worth keeping in mind.
• Yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 — clear information about the yarn standard.
