A burgundy alpaca beanie for everyday wear

This alpaca wool beanie comes in a deep burgundy shade, with a visible single rib texture and a turn-up at the forehead. This shape helps the beanie hold its line well, while the medium weight works well for the transitional season and winter. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca creates a light but substantial layer for colder days, so the beanie works well from autumn through winter.
• The turn-up at the forehead adds an extra layer of knit in the lower section, so this area is better protected from the cold.
• The single rib stitch helps the beanie adapt to the shape of the head and keep its form in wear.
• The surface has a gentle halo that gives it a softer, lightly fluffy texture, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling makes it easier to wear day to day, as the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.
• The burgundy colour, with its warm red-brown tone, stands out clearly in an outfit, making a stronger accent than classic neutrals.

Accessories and care

If you like, we can also make this alpaca beanie as a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn. You can also add a scarf, snood or shawl if you are looking for matching handmade accessories. Aga chose a medium-weight knit and a turn-up shape for the HELEN style, so the beanie keeps a close-fitting shape without too much volume. Hand wash only; you can find a short guide here: how to care for wool.
