WATA CUKROWA alpaca and merino beanie – lightweight, yet still warm

This handmade beanie from the WATA CUKROWA collection has been hand-knitted with needles from yarn made of 71% alpaca, 25% wool (merino), 4% polyamide, certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. The thin knit with a distinct soft halo gives the effect of a lightweight yet still warm women’s winter beanie. The turn-up brim and oversized shape make it easy to style in different ways, from everyday looks to more polished outfits.

• Alpaca and merino – a blend of natural fibres that provides comfortable warmth in autumn and winter, without the feel of a heavy hat on your head.
• Thin, fluffy knit – a light layer that works well in the city, in moderate wind and changing temperatures.
• Turn-up beanie with an oversized fit – you can adjust how deep you wear it, and the folded brim adds extra warmth around the ears.
• Sea green – a cool, saturated shade of green that works well with both classic and sporty coats and jackets.
• Soft, fuzzy surface – visually similar to mohair-style beanies, without suggesting the properties of other fibres.
• Rib stitch – the flexible construction helps the beanie fit the head and hold its shape in everyday wear.
• Pilling resistance: medium – with time, small pills may appear in areas exposed to friction, which is natural for this type of soft, fluffy yarn.
• Against the skin – for very sensitive skin, the beanie may feel slightly itchy; if needed, a thin headband underneath may help.
• Eco-leather label – it can be unclipped before washing, which makes care easier and reduces the risk of damaging the trim.
• Hand-knitted – each beanie is an individual piece, with small variations typical of handmade work.

How to wear and care for the WATA CUKROWA alpaca beanie

The WATA CUKROWA beanie is a good option if you’re looking for a lightweight but still warm women’s beanie for everyday wear – for the city, walks or work. If you are especially sensitive to cold or need something for very strong wind, a thicker wool beanie may be a better choice, for example one made from a heavier knit or with an extra layer. You can complete the set with a scarf, snood or shawl in natural wool (including alpaca scarves) in the accessories section: matching wool accessories. This alpaca wool beanie should be hand washed in lukewarm water and dried flat – you can find detailed guidance here: how to care for wool.
