When this style is a good choice

This beanie works well if you are looking for a turn-up beanie that stays securely on the head and provides noticeable warmth on colder days, without the feel of a heavy, bulky knit. Thanks to the double rib and folded cuff, it is a good option for everyday wear in autumn and winter, including longer time spent outdoors. The light, cool pink pairs well with calm, muted outfits and does not overpower them. It may not be the best choice for an extremely sensitive scalp – in that case, a beanie made from a gentler yarn may be worth considering.

Alpaca wool and how it feels on the skin

The beanie is made entirely from alpaca wool with Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification, with a surface finished with a delicate halo that is characteristic of this type of yarn. The knit feels soft and springy, but the natural fine fibres may feel slightly itchy for people with very sensitive skin or those who are sensitive to contact with animal fibres – in that case, it may be worth considering a different type of wool.

Before buying, it is worth reading this short guide on wool care, which can help keep the knit in good condition for longer.

Shape, folded cuff and fit

The LAURIN model is a turn-up beanie with a snug fit around the head, thanks to the double ribbing that naturally stretches and adjusts to the head shape. The folded cuff creates an extra layer of knit over the ears, adding a greater sense of coverage without the need for a very thick yarn. The beanie is hand-knitted, so it holds its shape while remaining flexible and comfortable when the right size is chosen. Its medium weight means it can be worn on its own, including under a slightly more fitted hood.

How this beanie performs in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter, while not weighing down the head during longer wear.
• Double ribbing throughout – helps the beanie stay in place well and stretch out less with regular use.
• Folded cuff over the ears – adds an extra layer of coverage where cold and wind are most noticeable.
• High resistance to pilling – helps limit the formation of small pills on the surface, supporting a neat appearance over the coming seasons.
• Hand-knitted construction – allows precise control of yarn tension, which gives the knit an even structure and seams that are not noticeable on the inside.
• Light pink tone – easy to pair with neutral outerwear colours, creating a calm, understated accent.
• Hand wash – requires gentle care, but helps preserve the fibre’s springiness and the beanie’s stable shape.

Optional extras and creating a set

If you would like the LAURIN style as a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a pom-pom made from the same yarn as the beanie in a matching shade. You can also pair it with colour-coordinated shawls, scarves or snoods available in the matching handmade accessories section, which makes it easier to create a consistent set for the colder months.
