An alpaca beanie for everyday wear

The CHMURKA style has a looser, oversized shape and a classic turn-up that frames the face neatly and adds a warmer feel around the ears and forehead. The light ecru shade and gently fluffy knit give it a calm, soft look, so it is a good option if you are looking for a handmade beanie in a neutral colour that is easy to pair with your winter wardrobe.

• Composition: 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool – this alpaca beanie combines a soft, fluffy character with greater practicality for regular wear.
• Turn-up and single rib – helps the beanie sit better on the head and creates a neater edge around the face.
• Medium weight – a warm women’s beanie for chilly autumn and winter days, without a heavy, very bulky feel.
• High resistance to pilling – easier to keep looking good with frequent wear.
• Fine fibres on the surface – an alpaca wool beanie has a softer visual look and a lightly fluffy character compared with smooth wool beanies.
• Against the skin: it may feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin – important to keep in mind if you are looking for a beanie for full sensory sensitivity.
• Yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 – the fibre content is clearly stated, which makes informed shopping easier.
