When this beanie is a good choice

This style works well if you are looking for a turn-up beanie that keeps you warm on colder days without feeling very bulky. The medium-weight knit makes it suitable for everyday wear in autumn and winter, including in the city. The light, neutral grey is easy to pair with different jackets and coats without making an outfit look visually heavy. If you have a very sensitive scalp, this beanie may feel slightly itchy for you.

Alpaca wool and how it feels on the skin

This beanie is made from a single yarn: 100% alpaca, certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which confirms that the fibre composition has been checked for harmful substances. The knit has a noticeable softness and feels pleasant to the touch, with a characteristic delicate halo on the surface. For people with average skin sensitivity, it usually feels comfortable on the head, but with particularly sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy, especially around the forehead and ears.

Fit, turn-up and how it sits

LAURIN is a fitted beanie with a turn-up, made in double rib along the full height. This construction allows it to adapt comfortably to the shape of the head without strong pressure, while also avoiding a noticeable tendency to slip down over the eyes in typical wear. The turn-up adds an extra layer of knit around the ears and forehead, which translates into noticeably better warmth on the coldest days. The ribbed structure gives the beanie its characteristic shape — when worn, it creates a slightly soft back rather than a stiff, upright top.

What this beanie offers in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – provides the warmth expected from a winter beanie, without feeling heavy on the head in temperatures around freezing.
• Double layer over the ears – increases thermal insulation where we usually feel the cold most.
• Double rib throughout – helps the beanie adapt naturally to the head circumference and return to shape after being taken off.
• High resistance to pilling – reduces the risk of the knit quickly forming pills in areas exposed to friction, with proper care.
• Delicate halo on the surface – softens the look of the beanie visually and adds a cocooning feel without a strong sheen.
• Handmade with knitting needles – means careful finishing at the edges and controlled yarn tension throughout the beanie.
• Versatile light grey shade – makes it easier to pair the beanie with your existing wardrobe, without needing a full set in the same colour.

Additional details and options for completing the set

The beanie is finished with a faux leather label that can be easily unclipped before washing, which makes care easier and helps prevent it from losing shape. If you would like to give the LAURIN style a more distinctive look, you can order a colour-matched pom-pom for your beanie made from the same yarn. To create a coordinated set for the colder months, you can also choose a shawl, scarf or snood in a similar colour or in a different yarn, depending on your warmth preferences. When washing this beanie, it is worth checking the short wool care guide to help preserve the shape and qualities of alpaca for longer.
