When this beanie is a good choice

This style works well if you are looking for an alpaca beanie for the colder season that offers good warmth without being overly thick. The amethyst purple shade is a good option if you want to add some colour to winter outfits while keeping the overall look calm and understated. Thanks to the classic turn-up beanie shape, it pairs easily with everyday outerwear, from coats to jackets. It may not be the right choice if you have a very sensitive scalp and do not tolerate any noticeable itchiness from natural fibres.

Skin feel and material

The beanie is made from 100% alpaca wool with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, in a medium-weight yarn with a noticeable but soft halo. The material feels pleasant and springy to the touch, but in direct contact with the skin it may cause a slight prickly sensation for people who are exceptionally sensitive to natural fibres. If the texture of classic wool beanies has bothered you in the past, consider wearing this one over a thin headband or choosing a gentler yarn.

Proper care helps extend the life of the knitwear – you can find detailed guidance in our wool care guide.

Fit, turn-up and shape

LAURIN is a close-fitting turn-up beanie, handmade with double ribbing that moves with the head circumference and holds its shape well. The turn-up creates an extra layer over the ears and forehead, which improves warmth on windy days. The medium-weight knit allows the beanie to sit softly, with a slight ease at the crown, without looking bulky. When choosing your size, it is best to stay with your usual head circumference – the beanie is not heavily stretched, but the elastic rib gives some flexibility for typical differences in head shape.

How this beanie works in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter, without overheating in temperatures above freezing.
• Double ribbing – helps the beanie stay securely on the head, reducing slipping in movement and wind.
• Turn-up edge – adds a double layer over the ears, which noticeably improves comfort in lower temperatures and gusty weather.
• Soft halo on the surface – gives the beanie a soft, matte look and a lightly cocooning feel to the touch.
• High resistance to pilling – helps the knit keep a neat appearance with regular wear, provided hand-washing guidelines are followed.
• Hand-knitted construction – creates an even, flexible stitch structure that adapts to the head differently from machine-made beanies.
• Colour 4434 Amethyst in a purple tone – helps the beanie stand out from classic greys while still pairing easily with neutral wardrobe colours.

Extras and matching pieces

If you like a soft finishing touch at the top, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom for this style in the same colour, made from the same yarn. To create a coordinated set for colder days, you can also add a matching shawl, scarf or snood from our matching shawls, wraps and snoods, making it easier to keep a similar level of warmth and texture around the neck.
