MARGARET Handmade Alpaca Mohair and Silk Beanie 3112/36 Pink with a Hint of Beige

A handmade lightweight beanie with a double rib, made from 100% alpaca with an added mohair-and-silk thread. It is a thin yet enveloping hat, well suited to autumn and spring. Some beanies in this series are available ready to ship, while others are made to order — before buying, please click your chosen size to check the current making time.

A thin, lightweight alpaca and mohair beanie for transitional weather

MARGARET from the classic collection is a beanie without a turn-up, with a gently oversized shape. The double rib helps it stay in place on the head while remaining flexible and softly draped. The combination of two yarns — the main alpaca yarn and an additional mohair with silk thread — creates a distinctive, lightly fluffy look with a visible soft halo.

• thin, lightweight knit — a good choice for autumn and spring when you want protection from the cold, but not the fuller coverage of a typical winter hat
• double rib — improves the fit around the head and helps reduce slipping during wear
• oversized beanie shape — it does not cling tightly to the head, but falls softly at the back, which makes it practical and comfortable for everyday wear
• high share of natural fibres — alpaca and mohair give the knit lightness and a cosy feel, while maintaining strong resistance to pilling
• soft, noticeable halo — gives it an elegant, slightly cloud-like look; at the same time, on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy against the forehead or ears
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate — the yarn meets standards for harmful substances, which matters in accessories worn close to the skin
• handmade with knitting needles — each handmade beanie is slightly different, and the stitch density and tension are intentionally chosen for the transitional seasons
• pink with a hint of beige — a colour that works well with more elegant outfits and can serve as a subtle accent
• strong resistance to pilling — practical for frequent wear and taking the hat on and off, for example on public transport or at work
• hand wash — helps preserve the elasticity of the knit and the texture of the fibres; you can find more details in our guide to wool care
• option to create a matching set — you can pair the beanie with a scarf or snood made from a similar yarn (you can find handmade wool accessories here: see matching accessories)

Who is this beanie a good choice for?

This elegant transitional beanie is a good option if you are looking for a lightweight, cosy alpaca hat for everyday trips into town, work or walks, and you like a subtle oversized effect rather than a pronounced one. Thanks to its strong resistance to pilling, it works well for regular use. If your skin is particularly sensitive to wool and reacts poorly to yarns with a noticeable halo, it is worth keeping in mind that the mohair-and-silk fibres may feel slightly itchy.

The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather label, which makes hand washing easier. To help preserve the shape and texture of the knit, it is best dried flat. If you like to keep your accessories coordinated, you can find matching pieces in the handmade wool section: see accessory ideas.
