Classic alpaca beanie in light beige

The LAURIN style comes in a calm light nougat beige and a simple shape that works easily with everyday outfits. This is a handmade hand-knitted beanie with a double rib stitch; Aga chose this stitch so the fabric stays flexible and sits well on the head.

• 100% alpaca creates a knit that feels light yet substantial, so the beanie works well on colder autumn and winter days.
• The lack of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, so the beanie fits more easily under a hood.
• The extended back gives it a looser shape at the back of the head, so the style does not end stiffly at the nape.
• The double rib stitch helps the beanie adjust better to the shape of the head, so the knit moves naturally without feeling flat or stiff.
• The surface has a soft natural halo that gives it a gentler, more enveloping look, but very sensitive skin may notice a slight itch.
• Its high resistance to pilling makes it easier to wear every day, as the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.

Extras and care

If you like, we can add a matching pom-pom in the same colour and made from the same yarn. You can also choose a scarf, snood or shawl to create a coordinated set. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. This alpaca wool beanie should be hand washed and dried flat; we have collected the details here: how to care for wool accessories.
