Classic alpaca beanie with an extended shape

This is the LAURIN style, with a simple, classic look and a smooth line without a turn-up. The black colour and gently fuzzy surface give this alpaca beanie a calm look without feeling flat. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• No turn-up means less bulk at the forehead, so the beanie sits more easily under a hood.
• The extended back gives it a more relaxed shape, so the beanie does not end right at the head.
• The medium weight provides cover for autumn and winter, while still not feeling heavy for everyday wear.
• The double rib helps the knit keep its elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head.
• The softly fuzzy surface gives it a more natural, softer look; for very sensitive skin, slight itchiness may be noticeable.
• High resistance to pilling helps wool beanies made from this yarn keep an even appearance for longer with regular wear.

Accessories and care

For this style, we can also prepare a black beanie with pom-pom made from the same yarn. If you would like to create a matching alpaca beanie and scarf set, take a look at our matching wool accessories. Aga made this style in a rib stitch, which gives the beanie its characteristic vertical texture and springiness. Hand wash only; after washing, it is best to dry the beanie flat so it keeps its shape — we have gathered the details here: how to care for wool.
