An alpaca beanie for the transitional season – lightweight yet still cosy

The MARGARET style is a fitted turn-up beanie, hand-knitted from a main yarn of 100% alpaca and an additional yarn of 75% mohair and 25% silk. This construction creates a thin, springy knit with a visible soft halo – typical of elegant women’s alpaca and mohair beanies. It works best in autumn and spring temperatures, when you want warmth without a thick, typical winter layer.

• thin, lightweight knit – comfortable to wear in the city, in the car or in shops, without the feeling of overheating
• double ribbing and a turn-up cuff – a better fit on the head, secure coverage over the ears and gentle warmth around the forehead
• two yarns (alpaca + mohair with silk) – noticeable softness and a delicate visual halo that gives the beanie a more refined look than classic wool beanies
• pink with a hint of beige – a muted shade that pairs easily with light and grey coats, adding softness without strong contrast
• high resistance to pilling – a practical choice if you are looking for a handmade beanie for several seasons, not just one
• next to the skin – if your skin is very sensitive, alpaca with mohair may feel slightly itchy; in that case, a different yarn may be a better choice
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate – the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which may matter if you pay attention to textile composition and safety
• hand-knitted – each beanie is slightly unique, and the rib stitch naturally relaxes and adjusts during wear

How to wear and care for the MARGARET beanie

This warm women’s beanie works well as an everyday winter beanie on milder days, or as a typical autumn/spring alpaca beanie to wear with a coat, puffer jacket or parka. You can style the turn-up cuff closer to the forehead or loosen it slightly for a more relaxed look.

You can pair the MARGARET alpaca beanie with a scarf, snood, shawl or other wool accessories to create a coordinated handmade set – you can find the current matching options here: matching wool accessories. To help the beanie keep its shape and softness, wash it by hand only in lukewarm water, without fabric softeners, and dry it flat – you can find detailed step-by-step guidance here: wool care. The beanie is finished with a detachable eco-leather label, which makes washing easier and lets you choose a more or less decorative version.
