MARGARET thin alpaca beanie – light yet softly enveloping

MARGARET from the classic collection is a handmade beanie with no turn-up and a subtle oversized shape visible at the back. The knit is made with two strands: a main strand of 100% alpaca and an additional strand of 75% mohair and 25% silk, giving it a characteristic soft halo and a subtle, elegant sheen. The light nougat beige is understated and easy to pair with coats or jackets in different colours.

• Double rib brim – the flexible construction helps the beanie fit the head well and reduces slipping while walking.
• Thin, lightweight knit – a good option for autumn and spring when you want a warm women’s beanie, but not a typical thick winter style.
• Alpaca + mohair with silk – fibres known for good insulation at a low weight, helping protect your head from the cold without making the beanie feel heavy.
• Surface with a visible soft halo – adds texture and gives the beanie the look of an elegant winter hat while still keeping it light.
• Light nougat tone – a neutral beige that works well with everyday jackets as well as more classic coats.
• Resistance to pilling – with proper care, the beanie keeps its neat appearance longer than many standard wool hats.
• Next to the skin – if your skin is very sensitive, alpaca and mohair may feel slightly itchy; if you prefer to avoid that sensation, consider a different yarn.
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified yarn – the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which may matter if you pay close attention to raw material composition.
• Hand-knitted – each beanie is made individually, which contributes to careful finishing and means there may be small, natural differences between pieces.

How to wear the MARGARET beanie and what to keep in mind

This alpaca beanie works best as an everyday hat for autumn or early spring — for the city, walks or work. The lightweight construction without a turn-up makes it easier to go indoors or travel on public transport without feeling overheated. The soft beige shade suits a calm, classic style, from a quilted jacket to a wool coat.

If you would like a matching set, you can pair the beanie with a scarf or snood in similar fibres — you can find them in the matching wool accessories section, which makes it easier to put together a coordinated set, for example an alpaca scarf to go with this beanie. Wash the beanie by hand in lukewarm water, without fabric softeners — you can find detailed step-by-step guidance here: wool care. This will help the thin alpaca and mohair beanie keep its shape and the structure of the fibres for longer.
