When this beanie is a good choice

This style works well if you are looking for a turn-up beanie that keeps you comfortably warm on colder days without being very thick. The medium petrol blue shade suits those who prefer calm, muted colours over very light or intense tones. This beanie may not be the best option if your skin is especially sensitive to wool with a noticeable halo. In that case, it is worth considering a different material with a smoother knit surface.

How it feels against the skin and the nature of the material

The beanie is made entirely from alpaca wool, using yarn certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, with a noticeable softness in the hand and a visible fine halo on the surface. In practice, this gives pleasant natural warmth and a cosy feel, but on a very sensitive scalp or forehead the halo may feel slightly itchy, especially during longer wear.

Fit, shape and turn-up

LAURIN is a close-fitting beanie with a wide double turn-up that adds extra thickness around the ears and forehead. The double rib has flexible stretch around the circumference, so the beanie sits well on the head without slipping down, while still remaining soft rather than stiff. Handmade on knitting needles, the knit keeps its natural elasticity, and the shape stays visually simple and clean.

What this beanie offers in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter without the feeling of a heavy, overheating hat.
• Double turn-up – adds extra protection for the ears and forehead against wind, which is practical for longer time outdoors in colder weather.
• Double rib – helps the beanie stay securely on the head, reducing the risk of it slipping while walking or cycling.
• High resistance to pilling – with proper care, it helps the beanie keep a neat appearance for more than one season.
• Surface with a soft halo – visually softens the overall look and highlights the natural character of the knit, but may be noticeable on very sensitive skin.
• Colour 6309 Medium Petrol Blue – muted enough to pair easily with everyday jackets and coats without dominating the outfit.
• Handmade on knitting needles – each piece has a consistent shape, while small variations from handmaking give it an individual character.

Extras and matching pieces

If you would like to turn this style into a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a pom-pom made from the same yarn in the same colour – when added to the order, it will be sewn onto the beanie. To complete the set in this shade, you may also want to choose one of the matching shawls, wraps and snoods, especially if you want a coordinated colour set for the colder months. To help preserve the qualities of alpaca knitwear and reduce felting, please read the short guide to wool care before washing and follow it when refreshing the beanie.
