When this beanie makes the most sense

This style works well if you are looking for a cuffed beanie made from natural yarn that holds warmth well on cold days without feeling heavy or very thick. The neutral, misty shade between blue and grey suits a calm everyday wardrobe and does not overpower an outfit. It may not be the best choice for an extremely sensitive scalp, as the fine alpaca fibres may feel slightly prickly. If you have had that experience with wool before, it is worth considering other styles made from a smoother yarn.

Feel against the skin

The beanie is made from a single yarn of 100% alpaca with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, with the delicate halo typical of this fibre, noticeable to the touch. It feels soft yet substantial in the hand, with a slight coolness when you first hold it, but once worn it warms up quickly and helps maintain a stable temperature. On a very sensitive scalp, the fine surface fibres may cause slight prickliness, so in that case a smoother knit may be a better choice.

Fit and shape of the LAURIN style

LAURIN is a fitted cuffed beanie with a distinctive double rib running through the full height of the hat, which helps with stretch and shape retention. The folded cuff creates an extra double layer of knit over the ears and forehead without making the whole beanie excessively thick. Its medium weight means it sits well on the head: it is not skin-tight like a classic close-fitting beanie, but it also does not create a large slouch at the back. Each piece is hand-knitted, so the knit naturally relaxes in wear and adapts to the shape of the head during the first days of use.

What this means in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – suitable for both a typical autumn and winter in the city, without feeling heavy on the head.
• Double rib throughout the beanie – gives a flexible fit, helping the beanie stay in place during everyday movement.
• Folded cuff at the bottom – adds an extra layer over the ears and forehead, increasing protection from colder wind.
• Alpaca with a visible halo – creates a lightly fluffy look that softens the overall appearance and keeps the beanie from looking flat on the head.
• High resistance to pilling – helps limit visible bobbling when the beanie is worn and washed as recommended.
• Colour 9021 Mist in a cool tone – easy to pair with grey, navy or black, so it does not require a specifically matched coat or jacket.
• Hand-knitted finish – contributes to the knit’s resilience and helps it keep its shape when dried flat as recommended.

Finishing details and matching accessories

The beanie is finished with a faux leather label, which you can conveniently unfasten for washing so it keeps its neat appearance for longer. If you prefer a beanie with pom-pom in exactly the same colour, you can choose a pom-pom made from the same yarn. To create a coordinated set for colder days, you can easily match it with a snood or scarf from the shawls, wraps and snoods section in a similar tone. To help your alpaca beanie keep its qualities over the coming seasons, it is worth reading the short guide to wool care and following the recommendations for hand washing and drying flat.
