Black alpaca beanie MARGARET – light yet cosy

MARGARET is a slim black women’s beanie with a turn-up brim, hand-knitted from two yarns: a main yarn of 100% alpaca and an additional yarn of 75% mohair and 25% silk. The combination creates a thin, fluffy knit with a visible soft halo – a good option if you are looking for a lightweight but warm handmade beanie for everyday wear, the city, and the commute to work. The double ribbed brim helps the beanie stay in place without the heavy, bulky feel typical of very thick winter hats.

• Thin, lightweight knit – suitable for the transitional season (autumn, spring), when you want warmth without overheating in a shop or on the bus.
• Alpaca + mohair with silk – this blend of natural fibres creates a soft, enveloping feel and a characteristic cloud-like look associated with an elegant women’s winter beanie.
• Double ribbing and turn-up brim – the beanie adapts well to the head, protects the ears better from the wind, and stays in place during wear.
• Black colour and visible halo – versatile and easy to pair with your wardrobe; the texture adds softness even to very simple outfits.
• Hand-knitted – each beanie is made individually, which reduces the risk of twisted seams and improves day-to-day wearing comfort.
• Fibre with an Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate – the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which matters in accessories worn against the skin all day.
• Resistance to pilling – with proper care, this knit is less prone to bobbling, so the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.
• Against the skin – alpaca with mohair may feel slightly itchy for very sensitive skin, especially around the forehead and ears; if you are sensitive to this, it may be better to choose a beanie made from a gentler yarn.
• Removable eco-leather label – easy to take off before washing, which makes care simpler and helps protect the finish.

How to wear and care for the MARGARET beanie

This black alpaca beanie works well as an everyday warm hat to wear with a coat, down jacket or quilted jacket, and thanks to the fluffy mohair-silk yarn it has a more refined look than a typical wool beanie. If you are putting together a set, you can pair it with a handmade scarf, snood, shawl or mittens in natural fibres – you can find available options here: matching handmade accessories. To help it last for many seasons, wash it by hand only, in lukewarm water and without fabric softeners; detailed care advice for alpaca and mohair knits is collected here: wool care.
