Burgundy alpaca beanie MARI – light, but warm where it matters

MARI is a close-fitting turn-up beanie, hand-knitted from two strands: a main yarn of 100% baby alpaca and an additional blend of super kid mohair, mulberry silk and merino. The fibres are fine and springy, so the beanie looks light while still holding warmth well on cooler in-between days. In autumn and early spring, it works well as a warm everyday women’s beanie for the city, with a coat or jacket.

• Turn-up beanie – the folded brim adds an extra layer of knit over the ears, improving the feeling of warmth without the need for a thick fabric.
• Thin, lightweight knit – a practical choice for autumn and spring; your head stays covered without the feel of a heavy winter hat.
• Single rib – the stretchy knit adapts better to the shape of the head, which helps reduce the risk of the beanie slipping while walking.
• Noticeable soft halo – the blend of alpaca, mohair and silk gives it a fluffy texture and a more enveloping feel on the skin.
• High resistance to pilling – with proper care, the beanie keeps its neat appearance for a long time, even with regular wear.
• Burgundy red – a deep, rich colour that works well with neutral coats and jackets, giving them a more refined look.
• Against the skin – alpaca and mohair yarn may feel slightly itchy for very sensitive skin; if you react to these fibres, smoother merino beanies may be a better choice.
• Hand-knitted – each beanie is made individually, which reduces the risk of twisted seams and improves everyday wearing comfort.
