Dark purple and a turn-up shape for the colder season

This women’s alpaca beanie comes in a dark, cool-toned purple, with a turn-up brim and single ribbing. This construction gives a neater fit across the forehead and lets the knit adapt comfortably on the head. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca works well in autumn and winter, so the beanie offers warmth suited to colder days.
• The medium weight avoids a very heavy volume, so the beanie is easier to wear day to day.
• The turn-up adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears, so these areas are better protected from the cold.
• The single rib creates a fitted beanie shape, helping the hat hold its form without looking stiff.
• The surface has a delicate halo, which gives the knit a softer, less dry feel, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• High resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so the beanie stands up better to regular wear.
• Aga hand-knitted this style in rib stitch, which helps the fabric keep its clear, springy structure in wear.

Add-ons and care

For this style, we can also make a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn. If you would like to put together a matching set, you can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl — with this yarn, an alpaca beanie and scarf set works especially well. Hand wash only and dry flat so the alpaca wool beanie keeps its shape; we have collected a short care guide here: how to care for wool. Marta packs each parcel so the knit arrives without storage creases.
