CHMURKA Turn-Up Handmade Alpaca Beanie 02 Wheat
| 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. |
Warm, handmade CHMURKA Wheat beanie with a turn-up brim is a medium-weight hat with added alpaca wool, suitable for the autumn-winter season and everyday wear. To check whether a specific piece is ready to ship or made to order, click your chosen size.
When the wheat CHMURKA is a good choice
It works well if you are looking for a handmade beanie with natural fibres that feels warm on colder days without being a bulky, very thick hat. The neutral wheat shade pairs well with soft, light outfits, including combinations with other beiges and ecru tones. The looser, slightly oversized shape is a good option if you do not like hats that fit tightly around the head. If your skin is very sensitive or you do not tolerate wool well, this knit may feel too prickly around the forehead or ears.
Material and feel against the skin
The beanie is made from a yarn that combines alpaca, wool and synthetic fibres, creating a lightweight, springy knit with a soft halo on the surface. Most people find this kind of material soft and cocooning against the skin, but if you are very sensitive to wool, you may notice some itchiness, especially during longer wear. For care, it is worth taking a look at this short guide: how to care for wool, so the beanie keeps its shape and texture for seasons to come.
Shape and fit
The CHMURKA style is a classic turn-up beanie with a slight oversized effect at the top. The single rib knit throughout helps the hat sit well around the ears and folded brim, while the upper part falls more softly with a gentle slouch. The turn-up brim lets you adjust the depth a little — you can fold it higher if you prefer a closer fit, or leave it wider if you want more coverage over the ears.
CHMURKA Wheat in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter conditions without the feel of a heavy, overwhelming hat.
- Folded brim – creates a double layer over the ears, which improves protection from cold and wind in this sensitive area.
- Rib stitch – helps the beanie adapt flexibly to the shape of the head and return quickly to its original shape after wearing.
- Synthetic fibres added to the yarn – improve the knit’s resistance to stretching and pilling, helping it keep a neater look after repeated wear.
- Soft halo on the surface – gives the beanie its soft-looking, cloud-like texture, which visually warms muted colour palettes.
- Neutral wheat colour – easy to pair with both light puffer jackets and darker coats, so one beanie works with several outerwear options.
- Hand-knitted by hand with needles – means carefully finished workmanship and the small differences between pieces that are natural in genuine handmade work.
Finishing details and matching accessories
I knitted this beanie by hand using needles, from yarn certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances. I finished it with a removable eco-leather Nitkowe Love logo tag — you can easily take it off before washing if you prefer the smoothest possible surface. You can also pair it with colour-matched matching shawls, wraps and snoods to create a coordinated autumn-winter set without having to look elsewhere for accessories.
