Black alpaca beanie for everyday wear

This HELEN style has a simple, versatile shape: black, with a turn-up cuff and vertical ribbing that keeps the shape neat. It is an alpaca wool beanie that works well with everyday outfits without adding unnecessary bulk.

• 100% alpaca creates a lightweight, springy knit, so the beanie feels substantial without being heavy.
• The medium weight works well through autumn and winter, making it easy to wear day to day in changeable weather.
• The turn-up cuff at the forehead adds a second layer of knit in this area, so the beanie covers the ears more effectively.
• The single rib stitch helps maintain the fitted beanie shape, so the style sits close to the head.
• The surface has a soft halo for a gently fluffy look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps the beanie keep a tidy appearance for longer with regular wear.

Extras and care

Aga chose a medium weight and turn-up construction for this style, which gives the alpaca beanie a simple, everyday character. If you like, you can order a black beanie with pom-pom made from the same yarn, or add a scarf, snood or shawl to complete the set: see matching wool accessories. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. Hand wash and dry flat so this handmade beanie keeps its shape; we have collected the guidance here: how to care for wool.
