Grey alpaca beanie for everyday wear

LAURIN is a classic handmade knitted beanie in a dark grey shade. The double rib gives the knit stretch and visible texture, while the no-turn-up design keeps the shape simple and less bulky. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• The medium weight works well from chilly autumn through winter, so the beanie gives noticeable warmth without a heavy, fluffy effect.
• The lack of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, so this style sits more easily under a hood.
• The extended back gives the beanie a looser shape, so it does not end sharply at the back of the head.
• The double rib stitch helps the beanie fit the head more easily, allowing the knit to move without stiffness.
• The surface with a light halo gives a softer, more cocooning feel, but very sensitive skin may notice slight itchiness.
• Good resistance to pilling makes it easier to wear every day, so the alpaca beanie keeps a more even appearance for longer.

Extras and care

For this style, we can add a matching pom-pom in the same yarn if you prefer a beanie with pom-pom in the same dark grey shade. If you would like to build a coordinated alpaca beanie and scarf set, you can also see our matching scarves, snoods and shawls. Aga chose a medium-weight knit for this design, so the beanie keeps a balanced feel between warmth and everyday comfort. Hand wash and dry flat to help the alpaca wool beanie keep its shape; you can find a short guide here: how to care for wool.
