Classic alpaca beanie in light pink

The KIARA style has a simple, understated shape without a turned-up brim and a softly slouchy back, so it fits easily into everyday outfits. The light pink shade and the yarn’s gentle halo give it a soft look, while the single ribbed edge keeps the shape neat. This is a women’s alpaca beanie with a clear fibre composition and a distinct texture; the yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca provides warmth suited to autumn and winter, so the beanie works well for everyday wear without feeling heavy or bulky.
• The lack of a folded brim reduces bulk at the forehead, so it sits more easily under a hood.
• The extended back creates a looser beanie shape, so it does not end stiffly close to the head.
• The single rib helps maintain an elastic shape, allowing the beanie to adapt better in wear.
• The lightly fluffy surface gives it a more enveloping feel than a completely smooth knit, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps the beanie keep a neat appearance for longer with normal use.

Extras and care

If you like, we can make this alpaca wool beanie as a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour — the pom-pom is made from the same yarn. You can also pair it with matching wool accessories such as a scarf, snood or shawl; together they create a cohesive set for the colder season. Aga knitted this style in a medium-weight, springy knit, so the beanie keeps a soft shape without unnecessary stiffness. Hand wash and dry flat to help your alpaca beanie keep its shape — we have gathered the guidance here: how to care for wool.
