HELEN Women's Alpaca Beanie 100% Alpaca 9036 Wheat

A turn-up beanie made from 100% alpaca in a medium weight is a style for autumn and winter that sits neatly around the head and keeps a calm, close-fitting beanie shape. We offer both ready-to-ship pieces and made-to-order options — click your size to check the current making time.

A turn-up alpaca beanie in a light wheat shade

We kept this style in a warm tone between ecru and light beige, so it pairs easily with an everyday wardrobe. This alpaca beanie works both as a women’s style and a unisex one: simple, without extra bulk, with a wide turn-up and a clear, even stitch line. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca creates a light, soft knit, so the beanie works well for the transitional season and winter.
• The turn-up at the forehead adds a second layer of knit in this area, so it gives a bit more coverage where the cold is usually felt most.
• The single rib helps keep the fitted beanie shape, so the hat sits close to the head without becoming stiff.
• The surface has a gentle halo, which gives it a softer, more natural look, but very sensitive skin may notice a slight itch.
• The medium weight does not create a bulky shape, so the beanie is easier to wear every day and under a hood.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps the surface stay more even with regular wear.

Extras and care

If you like, we can make this alpaca wool beanie as a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. You can also order a scarf, snood or shawl to complete the set if you are looking for a matching alpaca beanie and scarf. For the HELEN style, Aga chose a medium-weight knit and a turned-up edge, so the shape stays simple while the forehead gets more coverage. Hand wash and dry flat; we describe the care basics here: how to care for wool accessories.
