Light lavender in a light, classic shape

This is a women’s alpaca beanie in a calm, muted light lavender with a pink undertone. The lack of a turn-up and the extended back give it a visually lighter shape than classic folded wool beanies, while the double ribbing keeps the whole knit line neat. Aga knits this model in rib stitch, so the beanie keeps a clear texture and sits well on the head.

• The medium weight gives suitable coverage for autumn and winter, so the beanie does not feel heavy for everyday wear.
• The turn-up-free design reduces bulk around the forehead, so it also sits more comfortably under a hood.
• The double rib creates a springy, flexible structure, which helps with a better fit without feeling stiff.
• The surface with a delicate halo gives it a softer, less raw look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• The extended back gives the beanie a more relaxed shape, so it does not end flat at the back of the head.
• High resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so it handles regular wear better.

Extras and care

We can add a matching pom-pom in the same yarn if you would like to turn this alpaca wool beanie into a simple women’s pom-pom beanie. You can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl from our handmade wool accessories. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. Hand wash and dry flat so the 100% alpaca beanie keeps its shape; you can find a short guide to wool care here.
