MARGARET Handmade Alpaca and Mohair Beanie 2020/20 Jasny Nugat

Some pieces are available ready to ship, while others are made to order, so before buying please click your chosen size to check the current making time.

Thin alpaca beanie for autumn and spring – lightweight, yet still warm

The MARGARET style is a close-fitting turn-up beanie, hand-knitted from two yarns: a main alpaca yarn and an additional mohair-and-silk yarn. This combination creates a thin, springy knit with a visible soft halo – more enveloping than classic wool beanies, while still feeling lighter on the head.

• Double ribbed brim – for a better fit around the head; the beanie stays in place in windy weather and in everyday wear.
• Thin, lightweight knit – comfortable in changeable weather; a good option as a warm women’s beanie for the city, especially if you often move between outdoors and shops or public transport.
• Composition: 100% alpaca + thread 75% mohair, 25% silk – a blend of natural fibres that provides pleasant warmth without adding much bulk.
• A slight “scratchiness” is possible – if you have very sensitive skin, the beanie may feel a little itchy due to the alpaca and mohair content.
• High resistance to pilling – with proper care, the beanie keeps its appearance over the coming seasons.
• Light nougat colour, beige tone – a neutral everyday shade that pairs easily with a coat, jacket or scarf and suits a simple, understated style.
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified yarn – tested for the presence of harmful substances.
• Hand-knitted – each handmade beanie may vary slightly in detail, which is natural for handcrafted pieces.

How to wear MARGARET and what to keep in mind

This women’s alpaca beanie works best as a light everyday hat for the in-between seasons – for cooler mornings, walks and commuting. The turn-up brim lets you adjust the level of warmth you feel (you can pull it lower over the ears or wear it a little looser). The muted beige shade works well with both casual and more polished outfits. If you are looking for a matching set, you can pair the beanie with alpaca scarves, snoods or shawls – you will find them in the handmade wool accessories section: matching wool accessories. To help your warm alpaca and mohair beanie last well over time, wash it by hand only in lukewarm water, without fabric softeners, and dry it flat – you can find detailed guidance here: wool care.
