Classic alpaca beanie MARGARET – light, with a noticeable layer of warmth

MARGARET is a classic oversized beanie with a relaxed fit and no turn-up brim, handmade in a double rib stitch. The combination of alpaca with a mohair-and-silk strand creates a thin yet enveloping knit with a visible soft halo. In practice, it works well as a warm women’s beanie for autumn and spring – when it’s cool and windy, but a typical thick winter hat feels like too much.

• Composition: main yarn 100% alpaca + strand 75% mohair, 25% silk – the warmth typical of alpaca beanies while keeping the hat lightweight; silk adds a subtle, elegant softness to the knit.
• Double rib stitch – helps the beanie hold its shape well, adapt to the head and provide better insulation than a smooth single-layer knit of the same thickness.
• Thin, lightweight construction, made with 2 yarn strands – a good option if you are looking for a warm city winter beanie that still feels comfortable indoors, for example in the office, a shop or on public transport.
• Surface with a visible soft halo – a typical effect for mohair beanies; it adds visual volume without actually making the hat much thicker, which works well with an oversized beanie shape.
• Medium petrol blue tone – a muted, slightly smoky shade of blue that pairs easily with grey, black, beige and navy, and works well with both a coat and a puffer jacket.
• Pilling resistance: high – a practical choice if you want a handmade beanie that is meant to last longer than one season while keeping the knit looking neat.
• Against the skin: may feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin – for typical sensitivity it will feel noticeably soft, but if you usually react to mohair or find even gentle wool hats itchy, consider a smoother fibre.
• Yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 – confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which matters when you wear a hat close to the skin every day.
• Handmade with knitting needles – each MARGARET alpaca beanie is made individually, which helps with yarn tension control and consistency of shape, especially important if you are choosing a repeatable style as a gift.
• Detachable eco-leather label – you can remove it before washing, which makes care easier and reduces the risk of distortion in that area.
• Matching set possible – you can pair the beanie with an alpaca scarf or a snood in a similar tone from the collection of matching wool accessories.
• Care: hand wash – gently, in lukewarm water and without fabric softeners; detailed care instructions for wool accessories can be found here.
