| 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 CHMURKA in Electric Orange is a good choice
This style works well if you are looking for a warm winter beanie or an autumn hat that wraps the head well without being very thick or heavy. The colour is a good fit if you want a strong, visible accent in your outfit rather than a neutral accessory. The beanie may feel slightly itchy on a very sensitive scalp, so in that case it is better to consider a version with a different fibre blend or to wear it over your hair. It is better suited to cold days than to mild spring temperatures.
How the fibre feels against the skin
The beanie is made from a blend of 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide and 7% wool, with a slightly fuzzy, soft-to-the-touch surface. In practice, this means comfortable, cocooning warmth without a heavy feel on the head, but if your skin is very sensitive you may notice a slight itch, especially around the forehead and ears.
Fit and how it sits on the head
CHMURKA is a turn-up beanie with a light oversized effect – once on, the top falls softly towards the back. The ribbed stitch helps the knit adapt nicely to the head circumference and stay in place without strong pressure. The wide turn-up adds reinforcement around the ears, which you are likely to notice especially in windy weather, while also letting you adjust how deeply the beanie sits. I make each beanie by hand with knitting needles, so individual pieces may vary slightly in the way the halo lies or in the springiness of the knit.
How this beanie works in everyday wear
- Medium-weight alpaca-blend knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter temperatures, without the feel of a heavy, overheating hat.
- Ribbed stitch and stretch – help the beanie adapt to the shape of the head, which reduces slipping during everyday movement.
- Wide turn-up – creates an extra layer over the ears, improving comfort in cold wind and in typical winter conditions.
- Gentle surface halo – gives the beanie visual softness and a lightly fluffy look that pairs well with autumn and winter outerwear.
- High resistance to pilling – helps it keep a neat appearance over many seasons with normal use.
- Intense orange colour – brightens muted coats and jackets and makes you more visible in the street or on walks.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified yarn – means the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which may matter for something worn close to the skin.
Finishing, details and care
This handmade beanie is finished with a Nitkowe Love eco-leather label, which you can easily unfasten for washing. If you would like to pair it with a matching snood, scarf or shawl, have a look at the matching shawls, wraps and snoods section. To help the knit keep its shape and properties, wash it by hand only in lukewarm water, without fabric softener. You can find detailed guidance in the wool care guide.
