| I do my best to show the colours as accurately as possible in the photos, but sometimes my phone has its own ideas ;) Please remember that shades may also look slightly different depending on your screen settings. If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |

When this beanie is a good choice
This style works well if you are looking for a warm winter beanie that covers the ears and head well without feeling very heavy or bulky. Thanks to the turn-up brim and springy knit, it is practical for everyday wear with a coat, puffer jacket or softshell. Because of the alpaca content and the fine halo, it may not be the best choice for very sensitive scalps — some people may notice slight itchiness. If you prefer beanies with no noticeable fibre texture against the skin, it is better to consider a different style from the collection.
Feel against the skin
The beanie is made from yarn with a composition of 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool, with a visible but soft halo on the surface. It feels pleasantly fluffy and light, and in direct contact with the skin it gives the typical alpaca sense of being gently wrapped up while helping release excess heat. For people with very sensitive scalps, slight itchiness may occur — in that case, wearing a thin headband or snood underneath may help.
Shape and fit
This is a turn-up beanie with a slightly oversized character, hand-knitted with a single rib stitch. The elastic structure helps it adapt well to the head circumference and stay in place without strong pressure. The turn-up can be adjusted higher or lower, so it is easy to change the ear coverage and the amount of slouch at the top.
How this beanie performs in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth through autumn and winter without the feeling of a very heavy hat on the head.
- Alpaca wool in the blend – helps maintain a comfortable temperature, which matters during longer time outdoors or in changing weather conditions.
- Rib stitch throughout – adds elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head and is less likely to slip during movement.
- Turn-up brim – creates a double layer of knit over the ears, improving protection from cool wind in this area.
- Fine halo on the surface – gives the beanie a soft-looking, slightly cloud-like texture that creates a gentler line around the face from a distance.
- High resistance to pilling – with proper care, helps the beanie keep its neat appearance through more than one season of frequent wear.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified yarn – gives additional information that the yarn used has been tested for selected undesirable substances.
Details and care
The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather logo tag with the NitkoweLove logo, which makes it easier to take off before hand washing. If you would like to create a set, you can pair it with a shawl, scarf or snood — you will find them in the matching shawls, wraps and snoods section, including options that work well with women’s alpaca beanies. To help preserve the shape and properties of the wool, the beanie should be hand washed only in lukewarm water; detailed guidance can be found in wool care.
