A light alpaca beanie for everyday wear

The HELEN style comes in a calm light ecru and white tone, so it pairs easily with a winter wardrobe. This alpaca wool beanie has a turn-up brim and a single rib knit, which gives it a simple, everyday feel. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca and a medium weight make it a good choice for autumn and winter, with warmth suited to everyday cold-weather wear.
• The turn-up at the forehead adds a second layer of knit in this area, so the beanie gives better coverage over the ears and forehead.
• The single rib stitch helps the beanie adapt to the shape of the head, so it sits close and keeps its beanie shape.
• The surface has a soft natural halo, which gives it a softer, less dry look than smooth wool beanies, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling helps limit quick surface wear, so the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer with regular use.
• The light ecru shade brightens the face without creating a strong contrast, so this alpaca beanie is easy to wear with a coat, jacket or scarf.

Extras and care

For this style, we can add a matching pom-pom in the same yarn if you would like a winter beanie with a pom-pom. We can also make a matching scarf, snood or shawl if you are looking for a coordinated alpaca beanie and scarf set. Aga chose a medium-weight knit and a turn-up shape for this style so the alpaca beanie feels warm without looking heavy. Hand wash and dry flat to help keep the shape of the knit — you can find more tips here: how to care for wool.
