A turn-up alpaca beanie for the colder season

This is the HELEN style in petrol, a muted blend of blue and green. The alpaca beanie has a close-fitting shape and a single rib, so it sits neatly against the head without extra bulk. Aga chose a rib stitch and folded brim here to keep the beanie simple and easy to wear through autumn and winter.

• 100% alpaca creates a light, soft knit, so this alpaca wool beanie does not feel heavy to wear.
• The folded brim adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears, so this style works better on colder days.
• The single rib stitch helps the beanie adapt to the shape of the head, so the beanie fit stays close and secure.
• The surface has a gentle natural halo, which gives it a softer, more natural texture, but very sensitive skin may notice a slight itch.
• The medium weight makes it practical for everyday wear in autumn and winter, offering coverage without a very heavy feel.
• Good resistance to pilling helps wool beanies made from this yarn keep a neat appearance for longer with normal use.
