A dark purple beanie that gives warmth without extra bulk

The LAURIN style is an alpaca wool beanie in a deep purple shade with a simple, classic shape. The lack of a turn-up and the extended back create a soft, relaxed fit, while the double ribbing brings the whole shape together. Aga made this style in a stitch that holds its structure well and helps the beanie keep its shape in everyday wear.

• 100% alpaca insulates well from the cold, so this beanie works well in autumn and winter without feeling heavy or thick on the head.
• Without a turn-up, there is less bulk around the forehead, so the beanie sits more easily under a hood.
• The extended back gives the beanie a more relaxed shape, so it does not end stiffly at the back of the head.
• The double ribbing gives the knit good elasticity, which helps the beanie hold its shape better during wear.
• The surface has a gentle halo that softens the look and feel of the knit, but for very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling makes it easier to wear every day, as the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.

Extras and care

For this style, we can also prepare a beanie with pom-pom made from the same yarn and in the same colour. If you would like to build a coordinated set, you can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl from us. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. This alpaca beanie should be hand washed and dried flat after washing to help it keep its shape — we have described the basic care method here: how to care for wool.
