Turn-up alpaca beanie in a rusty shade

The HELEN style is an alpaca wool beanie with a close fit, a turn-up brim and a vertical rib. The rusty shade, with notes of orange and brown, creates a warm, earthy look, while the soft halo on the surface gives the alpaca beanie more depth. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca works well in the colder months, so the beanie is comfortable to wear in autumn and winter.
• The turn-up brim adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears, giving a bit more coverage where it matters most.
• The single rib stitch helps the beanie sit better on the head, so the shape stays close-fitting without becoming stiff.
• The medium weight limits excess bulk, making the beanie easier to wear with a coat or hood.
• The softly fuzzy surface gives it a gentler, fluffier look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps the knit keep an even appearance for longer with regular wear.

Extras and care

For this style, we can add a matching pom-pom made from the same yarn if you would like to turn a classic beanie into a pom-pom beanie. We can also make matching accessories from the same yarn group, such as a scarf, snood or shawl — a good option if you are looking for a coordinated alpaca beanie and scarf set. In this style, Aga chose a medium-weight knit and a turn-up brim so that the women’s alpaca beanie keeps its close-fitting shape without looking heavy. Care: hand wash and dry flat to help the alpaca beanie keep its shape; you can find a short guide here: how to care for wool.
