A dark grey alpaca beanie for everyday wear and colder outings

LAURIN is a classic, close-fitting turn-up beanie, hand-knitted with needles from 100% alpaca yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. Its medium weight and double ribbed cuff provide warmth suited to a typical autumn and winter in the city – from chilly mornings to longer walks. The dark grey shade and visible ribbed texture with a delicate halo make it easy to wear with everyday, neutral outfits, whether with a coat or a jacket.

• 100% alpaca – a natural fibre that offers good thermal insulation while keeping the beanie at a practical weight; a good choice if you want an everyday wool beanie rather than something intended for mountain use.
• Medium weight and turn-up cuff – helps keep ears and forehead warm without feeling overly heavy, so it works well in changing autumn and winter weather.
• Double ribbing – the flexible knit helps the beanie fit the head well and stay in place while moving, without slipping over the eyes.
• Dark grey marl – a practical shade that shows dirt less easily and pairs well with most colours in your wardrobe; a good option if you are looking for one versatile beanie.
• Resistant to pilling – made from a durable yarn; some natural pilling may appear over time, but this is not an exceptionally abrasion-sensitive beanie.
• Against the skin – alpaca fibres are noticeable to the touch; if your skin is very sensitive, you may feel slight itchiness, so smoother fibres such as merino may be a better option in that case.
• Hand-knitted – each beanie is made individually, which allows for careful finishing and the option to create a coordinated set with other accessories.

How to complete the set and care for the beanie

If you like a finished set, you can order a pom-pom in the same yarn for this beanie – simply add the product pom-pom for your beanie to your basket; this makes it easy to create a coordinated set, for example a winter beanie with pom-pom. You may also want to add a scarf or snood in natural yarn – ready options can be found in the shawls, wraps and snoods section, which makes it easier to put together a practical beanie-and-scarf set in alpaca or another wool. To help your beanie last for many seasons, hand wash it in lukewarm water and dry flat; detailed guidance can be found here: how to care for wool accessories.
