| 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. |
A thin, lightweight alpaca beanie with added silk mohair, handmade in a double rib stitch. It works especially well for the transitional season as an elegant women’s winter beanie with a distinctly fluffy texture. You can check availability and estimated making time after clicking your chosen size.
When this beanie is a good choice
The MARGARET beanie in light nougat suits those looking for a lightweight yet clearly cocooning handmade beanie for early winter, autumn or spring, with a soft halo and a subtle sheen. The neutral beige tone fits easily into a calm, understated wardrobe without taking over the outfit. It is a good option if you like a looser, slightly oversized shape without a turn-up. It may not be suitable if you have very sensitive skin — in that case, it is worth considering gentler yarns.
Feel against the skin
This beanie is made from a combination of 100% alpaca with an additional silk mohair strand, creating a lightweight, springy knit with a distinct soft halo that you can feel to the touch. Against the skin, most people find it cocooning and pleasantly warm, but the mohair blend and alpaca fibres may cause slight itchiness for those who are especially sensitive to natural fibres.
If your skin reacts to wool even after brief contact, a beanie made from one of the other yarns available in the shop may be a better choice.
A shape that falls naturally into place
MARGARET is a turn-up-free beanie with a slightly oversized fit, so it falls softly at the back of the head instead of creating a stiff dome shape. The double rib works together with the alpaca fibre to adapt to the head circumference without strong pressure, while still sitting securely. The construction without an extra folded brim means the knit lies smoothly around the face, which makes it easier to wear under a hood or a wide collar.
How this beanie works in everyday wear
- Thin, lightweight alpaca knit with a mohair-and-silk strand – gives noticeable warmth without much bulk, which works well in changeable transitional weather and milder winter conditions.
- Double rib throughout – helps the beanie sit well on the head and reduces slipping during movement.
- Fluffy surface with a soft halo – gives the beanie a more refined look that works well with both a coat and a simple jacket.
- Higher resistance to pilling – helps the beanie keep a neat appearance with regular use, provided it is cared for gently.
- Turn-up-free beanie shape with slight oversize – gives flexibility in how it is styled (further back or closer to the head), so you can adjust the look to the rest of your outfit.
- Hand-knitted from OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified yarn – means each piece is finished individually, and the yarn used meets textile safety standards.
- Designed for autumn and spring – makes it a good choice for chilly mornings and evenings, but in severe frost it may need to be paired with an extra layer around the ears and neck.
Finishing details and matching accessories
The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather logo tag by Nitkowe Love, which you can easily take off before washing or if you prefer a completely clean, simple look. If you are putting together a set, you can choose matching shawls, wraps and snoods in a similar tone to create a coordinated look for the transitional season.
To help the thin, fluffy knit keep its shape and halo, gentle hand washing and flat drying are recommended. You can find detailed guidance on the wool care page.
