HELEN Turn-Up Beanie 100% Alpaca 2020 Jasny Nugat

A turn-up beanie made from 100% alpaca in a medium weight is a style for autumn and winter that gives warmth without a heavy, bulky feel. Our collection includes both ready-to-ship and made-to-order pieces — click your chosen size to check the current making time.

A folded alpaca beanie in a calm beige tone

The HELEN style has a close fit with a folded brim and single rib, so it sits neatly on the head and works easily with everyday outfits. Light nougat is a muted beige shade, and the soft halo on the surface gives this alpaca beanie a gentler, less technical look. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca in a medium weight provides warmth suitable for colder autumn and winter days, so the beanie works well for everyday wear without too much bulk.
• The folded brim adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears, helping this alpaca beanie cover the areas most exposed to the cold.
• The single rib stitch helps the beanie sit close to the head, so the shape stays fitted and stable in wear.
• The surface with a soft halo gives it a gentler, sweater-like look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• High resistance to pilling makes regular wear easier, as the beanie keeps its neat appearance for longer.
• Made by hand on a knitting machine, it has an even, springy stitch, so the beanie continues to look tidy after repeated wear.

Extras and care

For this style, we can also add a matching pom-pom made from the same yarn and in the same colour. If you would like to create an alpaca beanie and scarf set, you can also choose a snood, scarf or shawl from our range: see matching wool accessories. This is one of those handmade beanies where Aga chose a medium-weight knit so the style stays warm without becoming overly heavy. Hand wash only and dry flat to help the alpaca wool beanie keep its shape; you can find a short care guide here: how to care for wool.
