A lightweight alpaca beanie for autumn and spring

The MARGARET style is a handmade turn-up beanie, knitted on needles from two strands: the main yarn of 100% alpaca and an additional yarn made of 75% mohair and 25% silk. The double rib makes the knit stretchy and helps it stay in place well, while still remaining light and not overly warm – it is more of a warm women’s beanie for cool autumn days than a typically thick winter hat.

• A visible, soft halo – a textured finish typical of alpaca and mohair beanies, giving a fluffy look without much weight on the head.
• Thin, lightweight thickness – a good option for the city, the car or public transport: it provides noticeable warmth without causing strong overheating when you go indoors.
• A fitted beanie with a turn-up – the folded brim adds an extra layer around the ears and forehead, which can feel more comfortable in windy weather, while also giving the beanie a neater, more refined look.
• Alpaca + mohair with silk composition – natural fibres that feel soft and cosy; from experience, this blend may still feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin, so if you want the gentlest possible feel, merino is usually the better choice.
• “Mist” colour in a blue-grey tone – a muted, cool shade that pairs easily with a coat or jacket in neutral colours.
• High resistance to pilling – with proper care, the beanie keeps its neat appearance for many seasons.
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification – the yarn has been tested for the presence of selected harmful substances.

How to wear it and what to keep in mind

The MARGARET beanie works well as a refined women’s winter hat for milder winters or as a typical beanie for autumn and early spring – with a coat, parka or puffer jacket. The turn-up lets you adjust the height and fit to suit your hairstyle, and the lightweight construction works well for everyday wear: walks, commuting, or time in the city.

If you would like to create a matching set (for example, an alpaca scarf or a snood with a similar texture and material), you can choose from the matching handmade accessories here. For care, hand washing in lukewarm water and drying flat are important – you can find detailed care instructions for wool accessories, including alpaca and mohair items, here. This helps the thin alpaca and mohair beanie keep its shape, elasticity and soft halo for longer.
