CHMURKA Alpaca Beanie 05 Brown

A thin, lightweight beanie with a high alpaca content (65% Alpaca, 28% Polyamide, 7% Wool), handmade on knitting needles. It works well as a warm women’s beanie for the in-between seasons, especially autumn and spring. Some pieces are available ready to ship, while others are made to order, so before adding it to your basket it is worth checking the lead time after selecting your size.

CHMURKA thin alpaca beanie – lightweight, with noticeable warmth

The CHMURKA model from the classic line is an alpaca beanie without a turn-up cuff, with an extended back that falls naturally in a relaxed beanie shape. The brown shade (05 Brown) and smooth stitch with a delicate halo create a soft, “cloud-like” texture with a look that feels more refined than typical sporty wool beanies. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 and is lightweight, so this handmade beanie hardly weighs on the head while still offering thermal comfort on cooler in-between days. If you have very sensitive skin, it is worth noting that it may feel slightly itchy.

• Alpaca-rich blend – a thin knit that still gives noticeable warmth in typical autumn and spring temperatures, without the feel of a heavy hat on your head.
• Beanie without a cuff and with an extended back – a comfortable shape that does not feel tight, covers the ears well, and works with coats and jackets for an everyday, slightly more refined look.
• Surface with a delicate halo – visually soft, cocooning texture; comfortable to wear for normal skin sensitivity, though it may be slightly noticeable on very sensitive skin.
• Thin, lightweight knit – suitable as a warm winter beanie for milder weather or as a typical autumn beanie; easy to tuck into a pocket or bag.
• Handmade on knitting needles – careful smooth stitch and neat finishing; each beanie is made as an individual piece rather than a mass-produced item.
• Moderate pilling resistance – natural for halo yarns; any pills can be gently removed with a fabric shaver, which helps maintain the look for longer.
• Eco-leather label – it can be unclipped for washing if you prefer a completely soft edge at the temples.
• Option to create a set – you can pair this women’s alpaca beanie with a matching scarf or snood (including an alpaca scarf or shawl) in the accessories section: matching handmade accessories.
• Hand care only – wash by hand in lukewarm water without fabric softeners and dry flat; detailed guidance can be found here: wool care, which helps preserve the shape and softness of the knit for longer.
