A black alpaca beanie for colder days

LAURIN is a classic, close-fitting beanie with a turn-up brim, handmade in a double rib knit. This construction makes the knit flexible, helps it stay securely on the head, and gives noticeable coverage and weight around the ears without slipping down during the day. The black colour and the soft halo typical of alpaca create a simple, versatile look that works easily with everyday city outfits.

• 100% Alpaca – a natural fibre with good thermal insulation; this beanie works well as a practical winter beanie and for colder autumn days.
• Medium-weight knit – everyday warmth suitable for frosty weather as well as changeable city weather, without excessive overheating.
• Turn-up brim and double rib knit – a closer fit around the head and ears, which increases perceived warmth and helps reduce wind getting in.
• Black colour and close-fitting shape – a neutral everyday beanie that pairs easily with a down jacket, wool coat or sporty parka.
• Hand-knitted – each piece has its own character; the double rib construction helps the beanie keep its shape with proper care.
• High resistance to pilling – a practical choice for frequent, everyday wear.
• Fine fibres on the surface – a typical feature of alpaca wool beanies; for very sensitive skin, a slight itchiness may be noticeable.
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified yarn – tested for the presence of harmful substances.

How to decide if LAURIN suits your needs

This women’s alpaca beanie (also suitable for some men thanks to its neutral shape and colour) is a good option if you are looking for an everyday handmade knitted beanie that provides real warmth without being very thick. The beanie shape with a turn-up brim gives ear coverage and comfortable wear with both a sporty jacket and a coat. If your skin is especially sensitive to wool and to the fine fibres on the surface of the knit, keep in mind that the contact may be noticeable – in that case, beanies made from other fibres are often a better choice.

You can also order a matching pom-pom in the same yarn if you prefer a more relaxed look and want a pom-pom beanie in a coordinated colour. If you like matching sets, matching shawls, wraps and snoods are also available, so you can create your own alpaca beanie and scarf set. To help the beanie keep its shape for a long time, wash it by hand only in lukewarm water, without fabric softeners, and dry flat; detailed guidance can be found in the wool care guide on the NitkoweLove website.
