When this style works well

This beanie is a good choice if you’re looking for an alpaca beanie with a clearly defined rib texture that hugs the head without feeling overly thick. The medium-weight knit and turned-up brim make it practical for everyday wear in autumn and winter, including changeable weather. Its close fit will suit those who do not like very loose, oversized shapes. It may not be the best option for skin that is extremely sensitive to natural fibres, as the fine halo may be noticeable.

Against the skin and material characteristics

This beanie is made from a single type of yarn: 100% alpaca, certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, with a soft halo on the surface. It feels soft yet substantial, and the rib stitch creates a light wrapping effect without excessive stiffness. For some people with very sensitive skin, the fine fibres may feel slightly itchy — if you have had this experience with other alpaca beanies, it is worth keeping in mind before buying.

Shape, turned-up brim and fit

LAURIN is a close-fitting beanie with a turned-up brim, made entirely in an elastic double rib. The turned-up edge creates an extra, warmer layer over the ears and forehead while also helping the beanie stay in place on the head. Thanks to the flexibility of the stitch, the knit moves as you wear it, adjusting to your head circumference without feeling tightly restrictive. The beanie shape sits close to the head, with a little extra length at the back, which makes it easier to wear under a hood or a jacket with a high collar.

What this style offers in everyday wear

• Medium-weight alpaca knit — gives noticeable warmth for the autumn-winter season without the feel of a heavy, overheating hat.
• Double rib throughout — increases elasticity, helping the beanie stay securely on the head while moving.
• Turned-up brim — creates an extra layer over the ears and improves warmth in windy weather.
• Soft halo on the surface — gives the knit a softly textured look, but may be noticeable on very sensitive skin.
• High resistance to pilling — with proper care, the material keeps its neat appearance for longer.
• Colour 7240 Petrol Blue — a deep, muted blue tone that pairs well with neutral and dark outerwear.
• Hand-knitted — each piece is made individually, which helps maintain control over stitch tension and finishing details.

Finishing details and matching accessories

The beanie is finished with a small faux leather label, which can be unclipped for washing to help protect both the knit and the label itself. If you would like to turn this beanie into a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour, you can add a pom-pom made from the same yarn.

To create a set in the same or a similar shade, you may want to choose a shawl, scarf or snood from the shop’s range. Detailed guidance on how to wash and dry wool can be found in the wool care guide — following it helps the beanie keep its shape and properties for longer.
