Turquoise alpaca beanie for autumn and spring

The MARGARET style is a fitted handmade beanie with a turn-up brim, hand-knitted from two yarns: the main yarn in 100% alpaca and an accompanying strand of 75% mohair and 25% silk. This composition gives the knit its characteristic soft halo, typical of elegant, lightweight winter and transitional beanies. The double-layer rib helps the beanie stay in place on the head, while remaining flexible and light to wear.

• thin, lightweight knit – the beanie does not feel heavy on the head and works well in changeable autumn and spring weather, including when moving between the outdoors and heated interiors
• alpaca + mohair with silk – natural fibres provide comfortable warmth suited to the conditions and give the turquoise shade a delicate, slightly fluffy look
• double rib and turn-up brim – this construction helps the beanie fit the shape of the head and adds insulation over the ears without feeling stiff
• high resistance to pilling – with proper care, the beanie keeps its neat appearance for many seasons
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified yarn – confirms that the yarn has been independently tested for the presence of harmful substances
• intended use – a good everyday warm women’s beanie for wearing with a coat or jacket, especially for those who like the clearly noticeable halo typical of alpaca and mohair beanies
• limitation – the fibre may feel slightly itchy against very sensitive skin; in that case, it is better to consider smoother beanies made from other yarns

Handmade beanie with the option to create a matching set

The beanie is hand-knitted, so each piece is slightly different while keeping the same shape and practical qualities. The turquoise tone works well with neutral coats and jackets, adding colour without looking too bright. If you are looking for a coordinated set, the website also offers wool beanies and alpaca scarves and snoods that you can colour-match with this style to create an elegant set for cooler days.

To help preserve the properties of the fibres, hand washing in lukewarm water is recommended, without fabric softeners, followed by gently pressing out excess water in a towel and drying flat. You can find detailed guidance in the wool care guide here. With this care, the turquoise alpaca and mohair beanie will keep its shape, the elasticity of the rib, and the soft, lightly fluffy character of the knit.
