When the lavender LAURIN is a good choice

This beanie works well if you are looking for an alpaca beanie for the colder months that feels warm without being overly thick. It suits everyday wear, from walks in town to the commute to work or school. The soft light lavender shade works especially well with calm, pastel outfits. If your scalp is very sensitive and you usually find wool difficult to tolerate, this style may feel too noticeable.

How alpaca feels against the skin

This beanie is made from a single yarn: 100% alpaca with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, with a surface finished with a soft, visible halo. It feels soft and cosy to the touch, and for most people it sits comfortably on bare skin without the stiffness typical of heavier knits. For very sensitive wearers, however, individual fibres may feel slightly prickly, especially around the forehead and ears. In that case, it may help to wear it over loose hair or with a thin headband underneath.

Shape and fit

LAURIN is a turn-up beanie with a close fit and no excess fabric at the back. The double rib runs from the bottom all the way to the crown, which helps the beanie sit well on different head shapes while keeping its elasticity. The folded brim adds an extra layer of knit over the ears, and you can wear it lower or higher depending on how much of the forehead you want to cover. It fits best when you choose your usual head circumference, without sizing up for a looser fit.

What to note in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter without feeling too heavy on the head on milder in-between days.
• Double rib – helps the beanie stay securely in place, reducing slipping over the eyes when walking or running.
• Turn-up brim – adds an extra layer over the ears, which improves warmth and comfort in wind and lower temperatures.
• High resistance to pilling – helps the surface stay neat through repeated wear over the seasons, with proper care.
• Soft halo on the surface – gives the knit a soft, slightly fluffy look, so it may stand out against completely smooth jackets or coats.
• Hand-knitted – means slight differences between pieces, along with careful control of tension and finishing in each one.
• Hand washing – requires gentle care, but helps the yarn keep its shape and warmth better than machine washing.

Extras, matching pieces and care

If you like a more finished look, you can add a matching pom-pom in the same yarn in the same light lavender shade. If ordered, you will receive a ready-to-wear beanie with no extra assembly needed. To create a matching set, you can choose a shawl, snood or scarf from the matching shawls, wraps and snoods section, which makes it easier to pair a neck accessory with this pink-toned shade. To help the alpaca knit keep its qualities and reduce stretching, it is worth following the advice in the short guide on wool care and drying the beanie flat only.
