A light alpaca beanie for everyday wear

This style has a calm, classic feel and a light shade between white and ecru, so it pairs easily with winter outerwear. It is an alpaca wool beanie, hand-knitted with a double rib that gives it a clear texture. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca provides light but noticeable protection on colder days, so the beanie works well in autumn and winter.
• The lack of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, so it also sits more comfortably under a hood.
• The extended back gives the beanie a looser finish at the back of the head, so it does not end flat against the head.
• The double rib helps maintain an elastic, springy shape, so the beanie keeps its form well in everyday wear.
• The softly fluffy surface feels more natural than smooth, so very sensitive skin may notice a slight itch.
• High resistance to pilling means easier everyday wear, as the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.

Extras and care

You can add a matching pom-pom in the same colour to this women’s alpaca beanie — we make the pom-pom from the same yarn as the beanie. If you would like to create a matching alpaca beanie and scarf set, you can also order coordinating accessories: a scarf, snood or shawl to complete the set. Agnieszka chose a medium knit weight here, so the style does not feel heavy to wear while still remaining a seasonal beanie for colder weather. Hand wash and dry flat to help the alpaca wool beanie keep its shape; we have also gathered more tips here: how to care for wool.
