CHMURKA Alpaca Beanie 36 Light Blue

A thin, lightweight beanie made from alpaca-blend yarn, hand-knitted, is a good option for the in-between seasons - autumn and spring - when you want something between a headband and a typical winter hat. Depending on the size you choose, the beanie may be available ready to ship or made to order, so please check the current lead time after clicking your selected variant.

Light blue “Chmurka” - a lightweight alpaca beanie for everyday wear

CHMURKA from the classic collection is a beanie without a turn-up, with an elongated back and a relaxed shape. Its soft “cloud-like” effect comes from the smooth stitch combined with a lightly fuzzy surface - a characteristic feature of women’s alpaca beanies. The light blue shade works well with both a sporty jacket and a simple coat, adding a subtle but noticeable finishing touch to an everyday outfit.

• Composition: 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool - the thin, lightweight knit works well as a warm women’s beanie for autumn and spring, when you need protection from the cold but not the thickness of a typical winter hat.
• Hand-knitted - a handmade beanie sits more naturally on the head than stiff machine-made styles; the smooth stitch gives it a simple, elegant look that also suits quieter, more understated outfits.
• Beanie without a turn-up, with an elongated back - it falls softly at the back, does not add volume around the face, and works well with loose hair or a low ponytail.
• Surface with a light halo - typical of wool beanies with alpaca; with moderate resistance to pilling, it is worth expecting the knit to soften gradually in areas exposed to friction.
• Against the skin - the yarn may feel slightly itchy for people with very sensitive skin; if you have had this experience with wool before, consider wearing the beanie over your hair or with a thin headband underneath.
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified - this means the yarn used has been tested for harmful substances, which matters when the beanie touches the skin around the face.
• Light blue tone - a cool, airy shade that brightens darker outerwear without dominating the outfit.
• In practice - from my experience, this is a good women’s beanie for the colder part of the in-between season: for the city, walks, commuting to work or school, and days that are cool to moderately cold, but not for extreme frost.

How to care for the beanie and what to pair it with?

Wash the beanie by hand only in lukewarm water, without fabric softeners, then dry it flat - you can find detailed guidance here: wool care. If you would like to create a coordinated set (for example with an alpaca scarf or snood), you can choose matching handmade wool accessories here: matching handmade wool accessories. The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather tag, which makes care and washing easier.
